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…
Soon man will sell another ads in their vision, while collecting the info on how best to manipulate them at the same time.
Nobody needs these glasses.
If you wear smart glasses and try to approach me, I’m ignoring you and walking away. I don’t care who you are, I don’t talk to cyborgs.
If it becomes a huge thing this might age poorly.
I remember when wireless earbuds first came out. The sentiment was the same “You’ll never see me with those because I’ll look like a crazy person talking to themselves.” Now it’s completely normal and society accepts it.
I still think people look mental lol
Yeah when I cross someone in the street using them at first they still look to me like they’re off their meds and talking to sky daddy out loud. It goes faster than before for me to realize “they must have an earbud in” but that’s still my first reaction.
And, honestly, even after I realise I still think they look like a pillock
The same as when Google tried it.
Privacy Invasion turned up to 11.
They’re nothing but just a new way for companies to track us more intensely 🤣
Privacy nightmare
please make it fucking stop
as with home assistants, “AI" and many other examples, they seem like cool tech that could be useful but it’s unfortunatelly ruined by the companies peddling them… hard pass for me
Honestly these devil bargins are insane. Like do i want these gimmicks, yes, i love automation and instant access to information, but not at the expe se of security and privacy of myself and everyobe around. Like wth no stay away creeps
If it was just a screen, general purpose processor, and customisable OS then I’d have one already.
I don’t feel like paying a monthly subscription fee for a product to lie to me every time I ask a question, and relay everything I do back to a company who will sell my personal data to anyone.
I love my Pebble watch and enjoy playing with new tech. If a company like Pebble can make one without the spyware, bloatware, and AI, then I’ll probably get one.
I’m holding out for the far less obtrusive Smart Contact Lenses powered by the eyes synaptic energy. It’s just a matter of time.
I would absolutely love to try them, just would prefer open source to anything being offered rn.
I don’t trust any of the companies coming out with these to not be tapping in and accessing any of the devices data.
They need to be smashed to bits… every single one of them.
I assume you’re recording me and I don’t want to talk to anyone who has them.
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.
while they aren’t really out yet, I can already say I don’t want one unless they are significantly dumbed down, with 0 (zero) running costs (beside charging the battery, of course)
Wearable tech has been kicked around since the 70s.
I think it will eventually stick.
