so... there is no benefit to wearing them.
i would love a new technology that does something groundbreaking (though only if it has an open source equivalent; im not buying anything from facebook), but this doesnt seem like it.
Something tells me that Meta's smart glasses won't have a billboard, signage and poster blocking feature....
There's hardly anything left. Anything developed now is for BUSINESS LINE GO UP ADD MORE FEATURES because its all been done, we have perfected computing 15 years ago. All this is just slop features for the rich to get richer off our data. Every single new tech "innovation" is for surveillance and capitalism/fascism.
Really the iPhone was the last actual innovative tech thing to be "invented". The only thing left now is better energy production, and maybe health advances.
I agree tech bro wise completely. But there's all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don't yet know about.
But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s
I did mention one possible use and people freaked out. Imagine an AR overlay where you’re at a gala or business function and you can pull up people’s names or LI profile to better know them when chatting. Or say at a sportsball game where it could give you stats of the people on the field as they’re playing (sports nerds love that sort of shit). There are many uses for AR but I don’t think this meta approach is even close to correct.
