Any word on whether they will let custom code/apps run on this, or is it a walled garden? Whisper + LLM with these would be nice. These glasses could also be great for vision impaired folks.
Reminds me of Snapchat's Spectacles: https://www.spectacles.com/ Forgot those even existed.
Add a HUD like google glass had and you may have a more compelling use case.
Good news for those who don't want to be caught on camera "The Capture LED lets others know when you're capturing content or going live. If the LED is covered, you'll be notified to clear it." So that's nice.
Any good argument that anyone can think of for a scenario where smart eyewear will not be as ubiquitous as smart phones eventually? I understand the privacy argument, but that is not going to be enough. The ability to think or blink in a certain way and capture anything you see is too powerful a tool, alongside the augmented reality that is coming.
I don't want cameras strapped to my head, I want a lightweight display I can wear unobtrusively and doesn't make anyone near me nervous (doubly so since this is from a company known for invading privacy), even if it's a fairly low resolution one. Version 1 could even be 4 lines of text and I'd still pay for it - I already wear glasses every waking moment of my life anyway.
Pair it with my phone, give me driving directions which don't require me to take eyes off the road. Remind me of things when I arrive home or get in the car. Let me read texts. Overlay that 9-minute pasta timer in a corner of my field of view until it runs out. Blink in a corner to remind me that my lawn sprinklers are still running, so I don't go to sleep forgetting to turn them off (ahem).
I'll probably learn to use a swype-style keyboard while keeping the phone in the pocket and looking ahead through the glasses.
Come on, I grew up awed at the HUDs of Robocop and Terminator, give me a damn HUD, it's 2023.
Is there a market for this? Stealth smart glasses that force you to indicate you are recording? Are live-streamers going to use this? Don't people want to be using their phone anyway? >The Capture LED lets others know when you’re capturing content or going live. If the LED is covered, you’ll be notified to clear it.
for sure - ppl are strapping go pros to their heads.
These things lack a display.
