I'm getting Macworld 2007 vibes

I am getting Phillips CDI vibes. It takes me back to a mid 90s infomercial where products will built by marketing departments and companies with cash to splash. There is just no bottom up cool factor. At all. reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhZdWvnF3do

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Did you watch the video link and compare? Curious what you think? Or are you just trolling? I bring substance and you bring negging

It's fine. I still don't have a need for this in my life, and it's impractical as a replacement (good luck keeping them on once you start sweating) - you're still going to need your phone.

So that means this is just adding 2 more gadgets, both of which I now need to wear?

Nah. Not happening.

Neat gestures though.

I saw the keynote, and while everything about the glasses was more or less as expected, seeing Zuck easily navigate the interface and type 30 words per minute while barely moving his fingers was a true WTF moment. If they can actually make the neural interface work that well then Meta has won this round.

Doesn’t that make the wrist accessory the important part? The chunky glasses look like they’re still too early, not enough tech.

> you can accomplish everyday tasks—like checking messages, previewing photos, and collaborating with visual Meta AI prompts — all without needing to pull out your phone. Why do I need to pay $800 for this? I already paid a grand to have a phone disrupt my every waking moment!

A Ray Ban sunglasses can run up to $500 already.

That's why they are sold as a pair. The glasses are simply a screen strapped to your face. How to control it was always the real problem to be solved (and no, voice was never the answer).
