Feinberg suggested that any company currently considering a way to enter the AR hardware - or wanting a "next-generation product announcement" has to ask this question about using a reference design as a foundation: “Is this platform significant enough to allow us to compete in the areas of performance, usability, and quality?”
And Feinberg had his own answer to that question. "After listening to Flex and their key partners in this endeavor — Qualcomm, Atheer, and Lumus — and having a chance to see the product, ask questions, actually use the resultant reference hardware, and mentally compare it to others I have used in the last few months based on usability, comfort, response, and quality, my opinion is yes, Flex’s platform does allow for these things," he said.
