By the time AR glasses with the field of view of Orion ship to consumers, passthrough headsets will be sleek, light, and powerful, with passthrough quality that may rival transparent optics, and virtual object quality that far exceeds them.

To put it simply: incredible mixed reality headsets will arrive before acceptable AR glasses. […]

The future is AR glasses, yes. But it's mixed reality headsets too. And unlike AR glasses, mixed reality headsets are here right now, and both the hardware and software is getting better every year.

Passthrough will likely never be the same as regular vision, but it could have some unique opportunities as well. You could easily apply a false-color filter, for example, which could help colorblind people or even allow vision into the infrared spectrum
