If you asked me to wear AR glasses on top of my regular glasses for a short ride in a lovely BMW EV, I would’ve said, “No thanks.” But now I’m glad I agreed because I can almost believe that augmented reality makes sense, not just for passengers but as a tool for drivers, as well.
Here in a parking lot at CES 2024 where car tech is everywhere, I hopped into an all-electric BMW iX M60 and donned a pair of Xreal Air 2 augmented reality glasses. I had to wear them over my regular eyeglasses because there was no time to put the right prescription lenses in them. Fortunately, the AR effect still looked quite good.
