the Current prototype creates a monochrome image (see animation above), but engineers promise to Refine the technology, by displaying different colors with higher saturation. Such a prototype already exists, but not in a compact form factor. In addition, Facebook is going to upgrade the resolution of the holographic glasses to a level where human eyes can’t distinguish individual pixels.

This, of course, not the only problems that need to be addressed to make based on this prototype a commercial product. Glasses with such functionality should be standalone – you will need a compact and capacious battery, and support wireless transmission of high resolution images and be compatible with conventional glasses, which are forced to wear many users.
