I don't think smart glasses are going to be completely standalone anytime soon. Chip technological progress has been relatively slow in the past years, and I think we're plateauing a bit with how much you can physically shrink transistors. Maybe there will be a technological breakthrough that will allow much more powerful chips at much smaller sizes, but I feel that's not gonna happen in any sort of near term. I think glasses are going to become companions for phones and that most processing will be done on phones. As for my thoughts on the glasses themselves, I don't really know what I think about them. I would be much more comfortable if they were completely locally processed without touching the cloud, but even then it is a bit weird to constantly have cameras looking at you all the time.
