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…
They’re nothing but just a new way for companies to track us more intensely 🤣
Privacy nightmare
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.
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.
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
It would be great for my industry. I’m in the trades and sometimes worry on jobs that I could get put in situations where it’s a he said she said kind of thing. Having video of everything I’ve done would be handy. Also if someone happens to be a wanted felon and I could get some money from crime stoppers through facial recognition, that could be handy too.
The same as when Google tried it.
Privacy Invasion turned up to 11.
If they addressed the privacy nightmares that they are likely to present… by not being directly connected to the internet, by using a local and contained personal AI instance, by never being able to film anything with them without it being clearly obvious to others… then I’d be excited for that kind of tech.
But we all know that it’ll turn out to be the dystopian, corporately-connected, data-leaking version of the tech that’ll spread everywhere. So, I’m actually not really looking forward to it.
please make it fucking stop
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.
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 hope they come down in price to the point where you can get 'em for cheap on the used market in order to repurpose the optics and screens to make dumb hmd’s.
This sounds awesome except the ever present AI. I know my phone and anyone else’s phone and basically any Internet connected device in my vicinity is actively spying on me at all times, I dont need a constant reminder.
I really want a screen on the inside of glasses though. If I could do 2 menial jobs AND catch up on all the TV everyone keeps recommending me I would be so happy.
Tap for spoiler
Well maybe not so happy but I’d at least be able to stop hearing "you havent watched (stuff) yet!? Omg! You HAVE TO…
The ability to watch something while doing dishes is intriguing but the concept of having short form content (instagram reels in this case) accessible one inch from my eyeballs any time I get bored is kind of scary. I downgraded to a dumbphone due to how short form content had cooked my attention span.
Great for pervs. I thought we went through this bullshit with Google Glass and the Glassholes.
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)
