Young said the glasses will use a 0.5-inch display with a 1,280x960 resolution, and these specs appear to correspond with Sony's ECX337A component. According to Sony's website, this microdisplay in particular has a max brightness of 1,000 nits, an ultra-high contrast of 100,000:1, and an ultra-fast response rate of 0.01 ms or less. The high contrast provided by Sony's microdisplays allows an additional information layer to appear seamlessly, and not as an overlay. "This information is simply added to the background for a 'real AR' experience," according to FRAMOS. According to the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Apple plans to release its AR/VR glasses in 2021, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo does not expect a release until 2022 at the earliest. Young also believes that the glasses will be introduced in the first half of 2022. https://www.7pebty.com/

It seems we dodged a bullet with SARS which was likely worse than COVID-19 and that was only 17 years ago (not to mention MERS which is even more lethal but thankfully not very communicable) Instead of spending billions on military endeavors perhaps we could spend some more on broad-spectrum antivirals, rapid viral testing, monitoring systems, rapid/safe effective vaccines Also, while we're at it, perhaps it's not a terrible idea to proactively vaccinate bats with crude vaccines for any virus we identify in their population to reduce the likelihood of needing the above technology... (it's better than attempting to kill them off which would likely be more difficult and dangerous for our already semi-decimated ecosystems...) https://www.7pebty.com/
