    A glasses with a display were always my dream. But with actually good controls, which it looks like the current iteration of pervert glasses actually have, it’s more than I ever dreamed for. You can display a minimap there, you can do some media control, display relevant info if you’re working on something, speaker’s notes when you do the presentation, the possibilities are numerous.
    If there will be a distinct version without a camera I might actually consider overcoming my hate for Zuck’s bullshit (but more probably I’ll wait for zuckless version)

      I know it is your dream. But, doing a presentation while wearing sunglasses indoor doesn’t exactly transmit humanity, connection nor empathy. I would nope out of that presentation. Everything else is just an app. They are all non-critical things, they don’t require a HUD.

      Anyways, that’s irrelevant because meta glasses don’t have screens. So, no AR functionality.

        They don’t have to be sunglasses. Google glasses worked how many years ago.

        They are all non-critical things

        I mean, nothing strictly speaking is. But having hands-free screen actually opens some nice possibilities that holding a phone in your hand doesn’t afford.

        Wait, they don’t? What the fuck is the point then.

          To be a creepy perv. It was obvious since first revealed.

          Also, Google glasses were just as creepy. Thy worked in the technical sense. Complete social and market failure though.

            I mean yeah, but again, remove a camera and it’s actually a very useful product for a very specific purpose.

          I will say the point, it is an extension of your phone essentially. A very expensive, pointless, and ultimately creepy extension.

          It’s like buying a smart watch, so you can ask it stuff, and not use anything else it can do. When your phone can probably still listen to you perfectly fine.
