New Snap Spectacles Feature Augmented Reality Display

I wouldn't use these for AR, but just as a display. It would be really nice to be able to just walk or sit or lay in nature, and work there, with a combination of AR glasses and chorded keyboard. Too bad they killed Google Glass.

Did you ever use Glass? The display was really too small to get work done; I would describe it as identical in functionality to a smartwatch, just on your face instead of wrist.

Nreal Light provides a fairly clean 1080p virtual ~115 inch screen floating at 2 meters. It's available variously outside the US. Inside the US, there's ebay with SKorea units (plus varying US Customs duties). I'm screen mirroring my laptop (as I type this, but not usually) using a usb3-from-hdmi dongle to work around issues. Assorted polish and comfort issues. Support is poor, so it's not turn-key, more hobby project.

How about just using Apple Watch as a display? The display has similar size. Maybe being able to have the display already there is useful?

You can still buy Google Glass, but the Hololens sounds more in line with what you're envisioning.
