I was thinking about whether ar glasses would be feasiible. Typically people cite several reasons for why a sleek looking pair of glasses couldnt realistically do AR. Battery life is a key issue because you can only squeeze so much in a pair of glasses. The focals by north have only 700 mah for example.

​

but what matters isnt really battery life but battery life to charge time ratio. If you could charge your phone in 5 seconds you probably wouldnt care as much that it only lasts 5 hours.

the reality is we already have the tech for ultrafast charge times. Here is a graphene enhanced powerbank that charges 5000mah in only 17 minutes. https://www.amazon.com/Graphene-Charging-Portable-Lightweight-Nintendo/dp/B08DC5WZR5

scaling down to glasses with 700 mah batteries and the charge would only take 2.5 minutes.

​

sure they might have shitty battery but does it matter as much if it charges in 150 seconds? You could give it a full 0-100% charge while getting dressed and recharge it at college/work/friends houses.

​

so what do you think. Does ultrafast charging essentially solve the battery issue with augmented reality glasses?
