They featured a laser projector that projected a small display onto a polymer in the lens, creating a heads-up display (HUD). The Focals were known for their sleek design and innovative technology, but they were also expensive and had some limitations, such as difficulty for people with long eyelashes or mascara.

AR/XR

AR/XR stands for Augmented Reality/Extended Reality. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing the user's perception of their surroundings. Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term that encompasses AR, Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). XR technologies are used in a variety of applications, including gaming, entertainment, education, and healthcare.

Heads-Up Display (HUD)

A heads-up display (HUD) is a transparent display that projects information onto a user's field of vision. HUDs are commonly used in aircraft cockpits to display flight information, but they are also becoming increasingly popular in other applications, such as automotive, gaming, and wearable technology. HUDs can provide users with important information without requiring them to look away from their primary task.

Voice-Activated Interface

A voice-activated interface is a user interface that allows users to interact with a device using their voice. Voice-activated interfaces are becoming increasingly common in a variety of devices, including smartphones, smart speakers, and cars.
