And do you think they will be mass adopted to replace smartphones once the technology becomes good enough or will the general public revolt against them like they did with google glasses? Meta just released a new pair of smart glasses which lets you have a discreet POV camera ready to film at all times, discreetly listen to music, view a projected screen just by looking to the side which is not observable to others, talk to an always present AI for any thoughts or questions that pop up during the day, discreetly send text messages by drawing letters on your leg, have instant translation for speech or text that pops up in your view, etc…
I am a wearer of (regular prescription) glasses. The closest I get to “smart” glasses is my XReal, which is not much more than fancy head mounted display. Which is exactly where I see the added value. The creepy concept of an always present AI, camera’s constantly online etc terrifies me. No one needs this. Plus, what do they expect, all people with clear vision to now start wearing this facebook commercial constantly? I truly hope this never leaves the gimmick-level it deserves and dies a quick and painful death.
