They are as small as the technology can be made today. Meta knows that they are still too big. Zuckerberg said on stage that they will attempt to miniaturize them further and this is not a consumer product today.

Making them as small as they are is an incredible feat actually. They are better than Hololens in every respect and Hololens is absolutely massive in comparison. There are at least 5 cameras, two HD projectors, an IMU, microphones and speakers in this thing plus the chips and batteries to run them all continuously for two hours.

It's not that much bigger than the prada frames on the sunglasshut bestsellers page: https://www.sunglasshut.com/us/best-sellers

Now that you mention it I can see from Prada's side they need to get out ahead of the clunky AR goggle game and make it a fashion statement and meet the technology in the middle once it's miniaturized a little more

Meta's got the RayBans colab but they're gonna need the Prada colab if they want to sell at 5 kilobucks
