smartphones and AR glasses are things of my younger days dreams but I did not anticipate the wierd corpo peeping around the whole thing.
Comment on What wouldn't you have minded so much if it had only been executed better?

Connected glasses. I’m all for privacy-respecting HUD that connects to your phone, I think that’s cool. But recording others? Connecting it to Meta? Fuck that.

I have some XReal glasses that are essentially just a display. They have an accelerometer so you can position the picture in space (3dof), sonI can use them as a second monitor for my laptop when I’m on the go by making the screen hover over my laptop, then have the glasses fade to.clear when I look down.
They have no camera. No cloud connection. They’re treated as a monitor by my laptop.
They also have a separate device (called the Beam), which is a phone-sized Android tablet (no data connection aside from wifi), that can be used to give a little more immersion experience and that I’ll use to play movies while flying.
I like them.

Sometimes I wonder how many of other people’s photos I’m in without knowing it. But for me that’s just a wistful idle thought - I really don’t get why so many people get super upset about wanting more privacy in public. Cameras have been around for more than a century. People have been taking home movies and videos for at least half of that time. Why the recent surge of indignant rage?

Glasses as monitors, or even AR/VR (without cameras preferably, but not connected to the mothership) cool as hell, actually looking for the right thing.
I can imagine a use case for camera enabled glasses, blind people, connect to a phone local vision model and speech synthesis, great.
Siphon directly to Meta? Oh hell no!
