Panel 1
Alex stands in front of a sleek window display of the HTC Vive Eagle glasses. Sam is leaning against a wall, arms crossed, looking skeptical.
Alex: These Vive Eagle glasses are going to revolutionize how we see the world!
Sam: Yeah, sure. Like they need another reason to exist.
Panel 2
Inside a tech store, Robin is holding a pair of Vive Eagle glasses and examining them closely. Alex is standing next to her, enthusiastically explaining features.
Robin: So, these are supposed to be the next big thing?
Alex: Absolutely! They’re like wearing a tiny computer with VR capabilities.
Sam: And how many practical uses do they have again?
Panel 3
The three friends are sitting at a café table, discussing the glasses over coffee. Alex is still optimistic, while Sam remains unconvinced.
Alex: Imagine playing your favorite game on the go!
Sam: Or just spending a fortune for a fancy paperweight.
Robin: Maybe they’ll be useful in a few years when prices drop and features improve.
Sam: Yeah, maybe. Or maybe I’ll stick to my old glasses and a smartphone.
