Fuck Luxottica. One of the jerkiest and most abusive companies on Earth. They bought Ray-Ban and every other glasses company, and then enshittifyied each and every one. The worst.

It's unfortunate FB has chosen to bed together with such a trash.

These could be pretty incredible if the platform was more open. You get highly available image and voice input, and good voice output. Imagine if you could take a picture of anything, add a little note, have it filed away. Not necessarily an awesome Instagram picture, but just a picture of some mail you got, a tool you are putting away, any thing you want to record and save. Heck, why not a picture of your computer s…

Gen 1 had horrible picture quality. Casey Neistat made a review and it wasn't nowhere near good as an iPhone 5 from 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF3iysOyelg&t=280s If this has a better picture quality, like up to the ~2023 smartphone camera standards then I'll buy one. I really like the idea.

What would you use it for? I kind of like it conceptually, but hard to imagine how I'd actually use it.

Would be great while driving. Better than a dash cam

In my industry, mining, I can see this sort of integration into a miner's helmet working its way into sites as a sort of situation analysis tool pretty easily. It would make a lot of things so much easier for folks on the surface to be able to quickly see 3-D scans (lidar would be amazin) of broken rock, or new tunnel, or cracks, etc. I am with others for the desire for more opennness. I would never hop on this loade…

Eventually everyone in the trades is going to have to wear these things.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Would you be just as uncomfortable eating lunch with someone who had their phone in their hand? the entire time? of course - and I'd question my decision to invite them unless they're sharing their screen with everyone (showing pics, etc) or taking a group pic, having their phone out and pointed at you for more than a few moments would be both uncomfortable and rude

if you place a phone face-down and have the macro lens recording, you could pretty easily see both people at a table.

I am not aware of a commonly used phone with a 180 degree FOV macro lens, but regardless of how a phone on the table makes me feel, someone holding a phone up, pointing at me for all of lunch, would be rude and discomforting.
