(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source:https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/06\/09\/sol-reader\/<\/a><\/br> We\u2019ve been waxing lyrical (and critical) about Apple\u2019s Vision Pro<\/a> here at TechCrunch this week \u2013 but, of course, there are other things happening in the world of wearable tech, as well. Sol Reader<\/a> raised a $5 million seed round with a headset that doesn\u2019t promise to do more<\/em>. In fact, it is trying to do just the opposite: Focus your attention on just the book at hand. Or book on the face, as it were.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited to see Apple\u2019s demonstration of the future of general AR\/VR for the masses. However, even if it\u2019s eventually affordable and in a much smaller form factor, we\u2019re still left with the haunting question: Do I really need more time with my smart devices,\u201d said Ben Chelf, CEO at Sol. \u201cAt Sol, we\u2019re less concerned with spatial computing or augmented and virtual realities and more interested in how our personal devices can encourage us to spend our time wisely. We are building the Sol Reader specifically for a single important use case \u2014 reading. And while Big Tech surely will improve specs and reduce cost over time, we can now provide a time-well-spent option at 10% of the cost of Apple\u2019s Vision.\u201d<\/p>\n The device is simple: It slips over your eyes like a pair of glasses and blocks all distractions while reading. Even as I\u2019m typing that, I\u2019m sensing some sadness: I have wanted this product to exist for many years \u2013 I was basically raised by books<\/a>, and lost my ability to focus on reading over the past few years. Something broke in me during the pandemic \u2013 I was checking my phone every 10 seconds to see what Trump had done now and how close we were to a COVID-19-powered abyss. Suffice it to say, my mental health wasn\u2019t at its finest \u2013 and I can\u2019t praise the idea of Sol Reader enough. The idea of being able to set a timer and put a book on my face is extremely attractive to me.<\/p>\n
