Yesterday's story about airpods causing wearers to isolate themselves and become unhappier comes to mind. Headphones in your ears, display in your glasses... about the only way to connect with anyone will be to smell really bad I guess.

The "smell" will be a pepper sprey! Why people can not just leave strangers alone? Always soliciting attention and "look at me" attitude!

Most people are not "isolating themselves", they have stuff to do and places to be. They do not want to talk about some animal, or current issue of today!

Industrial use cases will be huge once software+AI are firing on all cylinders. I’m a skeptic on the consumer side of this being a runaway hit like smartphones. Enterprise and industrial and the trades use cases in physical space is big.

It would be amazing to be able to look at an equipment nameplate and pull up a cutsheet, installation and operations manual, etc.

I can just imagine people walking around in a daze while instagram reels play endlessly in their meta spy glasses.

I can already do that with my phone and google lens. I don't have to strap extra crap to my face or let a device spy on everything I see.

Industrial use-cases could end up as fundamentally different product, ex: * Guiding someone through a complex assembly, it's going to be on pretty much all shift, with effects on thermal management and battery capacity. * You'll want to swap batteries so that it can be used by another shift, which will take priority over fashion. * It may also need to incorporate positioning markers and QR codes and external sensor d…

> * Ruggedness and repairability may be prioritized over miniaturization.

repairability? in what trend are you seeing that being a thing? they'll just make you buy an expensive warranty/insurance plan for replacements. i really don't see tech allowing for repairability

I don't love the idea of smart glasses and I'm definitely very concerned about the implications of their widespread adoption. And yes, most of what we've seen hasn't looked very good.

But when I see a headline like "tacky men with ridiculous glasses" I get a sense that the intent is more to persuade via bullying than anything else, which...I dunno. Doesn't feel great!
