  For me the main draw would simply be to have speakers in my glasses. The cameras, while convenient, are probably as much a liability as an asset, and the only time I’d use the screen would probably be for navigation while walking. And all this would have to be packaged in something which looks exactly like normal glasses that I’d want to wear anyway, which they aren’t even close to.

  So, yes, as a glasses wearer already, I would consider something like this but the list of caveats is so long that I doubt anyone can produce a product which I’d actually buy.

    The lenses would also need to be hot-swappable for changes in prescriptions. No point in glasses that don’t properly correct vision, at least for those who need it.

    Also anything with a sensor on it or some kind of input-gathering mechanism from Meta is an immediate no-go for me.

      Agreed.
