I wonder if a normal camera can be used to track head movements with a better AR set.
It'd be fun to add multiple extra screens around the main one on my laptop just by plugging in my glasses into the USB-C port.

Before both my eyes went shortsighted I had it - it always felt like having one eye optimized for short distances and one for long ones, with the brain making the switch automatically like a smartphone stitches together an image using various lenses of various focal lengths.
Still having different degrees of shortsightedness (a bit on the left and almost none on the right) is mildly annoying.
I like to think that's the reason, anyway.
I'm definitely going to follow the development of this as attention to edge cases and details like this are a good indicator of quality. It definitely has beta version battery life which I'd hope they'd address in a v2 as well.
I was kind of like this too. I first got glasses in single digit age (not even sure what age, really). I had normal vision in one eye, but the other eye was extreme. My brain had adapted to using only the one 20/20 eye, so once it was able to use two 20/20 eyes, it took a bit of time to function properly. I mean, you adapt fast, of course, but it was so weird. Being able to see truly accurate depth for real for the first time was pretty wild.
I had this as a child, meant that it wasn't clear I had vision issues for a bit. I could see things clearly.
While my far-sighted became near-sighted eventually, it remains a dominant eye for me.
Also, I noted this passage:
even with a very odd prescription (one eye is near-sighted, and one far-sighted) the default corrective lenses Sightful had available worked well.
I've never encountered another person with this same eye disorder... It can be a real nuisance in certain cases. Nice to see this specifically addressed :)
