Constitution[edit]

In gadgets, AR glasses typically don't show the image in the whole piece of glass. There is typically a small square in the center that is the actual display. This is the case for the Magic Leap.

AR glasses require light field displays or holographic displays.

AR glasses are most useful when they are completely standalone. AR glasses can be wired into a separate computer, or they can have data wirelessly transmitted to them for rendering. However, using a separate unit connected to the glasses increases the complexity of using them.
