But what if you wear TWO different prescription glasses, as Butch does?

Eadie, my understand is that the prescription of the lenses aren't connected or affected by the heads-up display feature. In fact, one of the AR glasses described in the video says you even get to pick the frames you like. Very Happy

The AR tech is just mounted onto regular glasses and shoots a image onto your retina. So, Butch's situation wouldn't preclude him from using these.
