## What Jamie wrote

This is an impressive demo and ultimately using screens you can see through is going to be the right approach. The tech is just extremely hard right now. Supposedly these would cost $10,000 each to make. I found Ben Thompson's read of them interesting. He highlighted that the reduced resolution of the digital parts didn’t matter as much when there isn't a screen between you and the real world. That makes sense to me.
