Maybe in a few years the tech will have gotten small enough to have normal looking branches

Sometime at parties I wish for a HUD that would show me people's name and the last time I saw them. On the other hand I dislike wearing glasses at social events, since I don't really need them.
I really don't look forward to trying to politely explain why I don't like having my face uploaded into the facial recognition/person-tracking system that will involve.
Am I the only one who doesn't want - Digital Glasses, Google Glass - Smart assistants - IOT devices - Smart door locks - Internet enabled washing machines, refrigerators, ovens, etc. - Push to order dash buttons - Smart watch - Smart cameras/webcams These devices are solutions looking for a problem. The value proposition is overshadowed by loss of privacy, interruptions by social media, potential for security flaws,…

It also has a lot of extra features like unlocking your computer without typing a password, allowing you to respond to text messages without getting out of the shower, etc. It really does provide a lot of value.
Allowing you to ping your phone is also incredible when your toddler likes to grab things and puts them in random places.

I don't want a lot of those things, but I really want a couple of them in a different form than currently available: - Smart driving (sun|eye)glasses. - Smart plant waterers for when I'm out of town. - Something that does what Apple Watch does without displacing my real watch. It seems I'm unlikely to see the second two -- AFAICT plant watering is stuck in DIY mode, and it looks like the Apple Watch business is boomi…
For driving, I'd rather have a HUD on the dashboard, but the best still seem to be tiny, expensive, and underwhelming.

As a runner, I used to pop on a garmin gps device and go for runs to help measure my training. Some days I would measure my heart rate with a chest strap to help my training. Apple watch, while generally not as good, it is good enough, and is something I can just wear all the time and provides the same functionality. It also has a lot of extra features like unlocking your computer without typing a password, allowing…
I'm going to wait for the next-gen device built on a more modern manufacturing node (like TSMC N7/N7+).
A 28nm SoC in a severely battery-limited wearable including video output and speech-to-text screams "poor battery life with moderate to heavy use". I'm going to wait for the next-gen device built on a more modern manufacturing node (like TSMC N7/N7+).

The best solution I've seen is a dashboard display with integrated maps, info, etc. BMW does this.
