Porsche was an early adopter of the tech, releasing an app that lets you drive a little Mission E around your living room and even sit inside the virtual cockpit. Now, the company is bringing a somewhat more hardened experience to its dealerships through a system it calls Tech Live Look.

Tech Live Look is a pair of glasses that, upon first glance, gave me flashbacks to my time spent wearing that most famous of augmented reality headsets, Google Glass. However, the implementation here is quite different. Porsche's glasses, created by ODG, rely on a pair of transparent displays that sit directly before your eyes. This contrasts with the single, small display on Glass that sat just at the edge of your field of view.
