Do we really want to live in a world where people are walking around with these things on their face, gesturing around like they are insane?
It's bad enough to witness how awful public spaces have become since smartphones came out, but this is next level zombie.
It is inevitable to a degree. Obviously this is not the final form and I’m sure the goal is to make a more fashionable solution that fits into their phone/watch/airpods kind of edc strategy. But no doubt we’ll have a future where info is right there if we want it. This thing is the foray into developing that eventual product for Apple. To me it looks real dumb, but a sleeker version in the future that looks like glasses…well shit it might be nice to watch a show while washing dishes idk.
I was looking forward to the Google glass. Not because it was Google but because if a heavy hitter drops something more usually follow. To bad it flopped. I would love having something like that instead of my phone. Especially once there's prescription versions of them.
I just want smart glasses like a smart watch. Show me notifications, let me decline calls, etc. I don't want all the VR crap, just like 4 lines of text.
Given the ability to verbally ask a gpt something now, the goggles would have been a great thing to release in about a year from now.
That's why they released the pro now, so in a year when they release the $1000 "cheap" ones people will jump at the opportunity to be a part of the "in" crowd. 🤮
I like to Google for questions I have. I would like for at least that much. Im with you on the rest. I don't need for it to have video or anything like that. Just basic features and text googling.
