Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Genuine FOV breakthrough for reflective waveguides in glass, but still a fragile demo with unresolved wide-angle efficiency, power draw and yield/cost risk; no product to integrate against and a large gap between the 70deg demo and the 20deg shipping reality
Next
Re-check after a shipping device adopts ZOE-class optics and independent FOV+efficiency+power measurements exist (post Meta Ray-Ban Display volume ramp); current MRBD ships at 20deg, far below ZOE's 70deg demo
