I do think we're in for a bit of a reality check on how human attention works. I have a HUD in my car that shows me directions, speed etc and when I'm looking at that the rest of the view out the windscreen is hardly even there to my visual perception even though I'm looking right at it. This seems to be getting largely overlooked but I feel like over time statistics are going to emerge that HUD type displays are inc…

Is this an aftermarket device that doesn't project to infinity or a purpose designed feature from the manufacturer? The former is not a real HUD for the reasons you cite.

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

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).

I was one of the earliest developers to test Vision Pro after it was announced at Apple Park. My thoughts after using it for a whole day was that the hand gestures really did feel like magic, at the tradeoff of having a huge headset on your head. Costs aside, the Vision Pro is too bulky for use outside of your home.

I had the idea of wearables to solve this, as many years ago I had the Myo gesture control armband. They were very early with this product too, and from what I had read, most of that team got acquired/absorbed into Magic Leap

All babies look the same, out of anything private you could film by mistake, a baby seems pretty harmless.

Note: user has baby.

Now hammer them with ads designed to guilt trip parents. +1 surveillance capitalism.

My phone has so far replaced zero of my keyboards.

I doubt that. It has replaced all of your keyboards every time you ever input text on your phone.

On the contrary, I have more keyboards now than I had before I had a smartphone or tablet, they have multiplied my keyboards.

Just a thought experiment, if I interview at Meta can I use these glasses ?

"I ABSOLUTELY love your mission, and I envision everyone wearing these! It's cool if I use them during the interview, I feel this will help me understand the end user experience."

Removing Meta from the equation will not remove general rudeness. Those same people aren't paying attention to you now either, it's just not so obvious.

There are other, valid use cases for this. I'm looking forward to it. More specifically, I'm looking forward to the secondhand market that will surely spring up moments after release as people realize that it's not a product for them in particular.

>Meta seems like one of the few large tech companies where if the whole company vanished, the world would be purely a better place. In the 'developed' world I'd extend that concept to many other other organizations. Around 90% of the work they do is useless or harmful: banks, govt, fast food chains etc.

Billions of people willingly use banks, fast food chains etc. all the time.

Didn't Google Glass do the exact same thing and failed? Not because of the technology issues, but social issues. People nowadays want to disconnect from technology more, not to have it even closer.

Their problem was that they didn't look like normal sunglasses, so people were immediately intrigued/suspicious of them. Although these have the little light if you're recording, the amount of instagram videos where creators are using these and the random people they're directly talking to don't notice, should tell you all. The rise of smart accessories (especially watches) should tell you that a lot of people don't…

Not surprised at this point at the negativity here anymore, but this looks like really cool technology - especially the wristband. The speed at which people are typing in the demos… I think it is awesome to see a proliferation in new ways of talking to computers.

also: looking for a good discussion forum where people are interested in technological advancement
