A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Even while lit, e-ink appears different than a backlit screen. Being front lit, it does still mimic a book being lit by a light. Eye fatigue is a big talking point when considering backlit vs frontlit displays.
I'm not convinced that benefit would hold true if it was locked to your head, but the details are still sketchy, so I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise by some third party reviews.
The difference between e-ink and digital screens is massive. I'm not sure how they'll be able to make e-ink look good in these glasses though
