Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don't find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

probably not unless I'm developing software for one, I think the angle meta is aiming for is kind of dumb but I do see how they could be useful in industrial settings.. but then again I guess microsoft tried and failed at that with the hololens

I almost bought the even realties G1, but they seemed to lock you into their AI companion.

Though I think they opened it up after release, would still consider them if it can be only your self hosted AI

Maybe in 20 years when they’ll be decent and I won’t pay to be you beta tester. Also open source, repairability and privacy is a must

If I can put an Chromecast-enabled pico projector at my lens, then no.
