While this is neat and I love the idea of these glasses and wanted to buy a pair, the reports of delivery and quality issues in the subreddit put me off until things stabilise a bit.

I wasn't aware of these glasses, pretty cool. Not sure I'm ready to drop that much money on a pair with prescription lenses though.

Would be useful to have my multimeter display in my field of view when heads down debugging a circuit. There are a few bluetooth meters on the market, so I think this is doable?

Looking at the SDK, the fixed LVGL font is a bummer. Ideally I'd like to have a raw framebuffer to control, though I imagine this is difficult to do over bluetooth without blowing your power budget. Maybe you could have a custom indexed tilemap and push sprites around?

“Plugins are web apps built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript) and the Even Hub SDK.”

I wonder if owners of these smart glasses who also hang out here have tried this. Might persuade me to buy a pair!

I should invest time, so that you can sell more? Why?

That's how all platforms work, right? Apple, Microsoft, Android, Playstation, etc.
