Smart Glasses UX: Why Every Input Modality Falls Short

Smart glasses input design is a comparison of trade-offs. Capacitive touchpads, mechanical buttons, voice commands, eye tracking, and neural wristbands each address part of the interaction problem while creating new failure modes — misfires from sweat, single-axis input limits, social friction,...

The Battle for Smart Glasses' Killer App: Why Input Method Will Determine the Winner

Smart glasses are drawing the kind of investment that once went into smartphones, with Meta, Google, Samsung, and newer entrants like XREAL, Snap, and Brilliant Labs all racing toward a mainstream product. Most of that competition plays out over cameras, displays, and AI features. None of it...

7 Reasons Why Solid-State Buttons Can Transform How We Navigate AR Glasses

Solid-state piezoelectric buttons are an emerging control method for augmented reality (AR) glasses, pairing force sensing with instant, localized haptic feedback so users can operate a device they cannot see. This article covers the "blind interaction" problem created by today's capacitive touch...
