TCL teases Project Archery wearable, Waterfall Display at IFA 2020

Similar to what it did in 2019, TCL shows off a couple of prototypes at IFA 2020. The first one is version 3.0 of its Project Archery smart glasses. It features two OLED panels designed to trick you into thinking you're watching a movie at the theatre on these glasses.

TCL claims its working on tech to allow those who usually wear glasses not to need contact lenses or wear their glasses under the wearable.
