It's nice to see no one learned anything from Google Glass. This is why we're fucked as a species...
Silicon Valley ran out of ideas after digitizing everything that was useful on paper.
Virtual shopping in 3D
3D TV
Metaverse
Google Glass, Meta glasses
LLMs
Face it, they peaked at NipAlert and Grindr.
I don't see why smart glasses need a camera, especially an always-on camera. I have like 5 cameras in my pocket. Sufficiently advanced smart glasses should be able to just stream that data to the display. Hands-free camera? There is no shortage of clips, mounts and accessories to do that for you already, at 1/100th the price of smart glasses.
We want HUDs not hidden cameras.
ive only seen it once it public and then never after that day. i think people got the message the moment articles came out about it. but Zuckerborg intends to push this out regardless.
I dealt with a couple that I was proud of.
The first time I saw them was an object I talked to on the train. It was the line that went to/from the airport, so you get a broader class mix. The conversation was nice at first, friendly, there were jokes. Then it showed me the glasses-it was already wearing actual glasses so it explained what they were and started talking about capacity of the charging case thing. They were still a very new thing, I was tired and not as aggressive as I should have been, so when it took them out and said what they were I just said 'fuck you.', put on my best scowl, and walked away. When it came up I reached into my purse and gave it my best cold 'you want to get the fuck away from me.'. I left and switched cars at the next stop, and told people as I left that the guy at the other end is a glasshole as I left, in a way that was clearly just to them.
Who woulda' thought suckerberg - the man responsible for running intelligence ops on billions of devices in broad daylight, would be outta touch with evolving cultural norms!
