[@Comeback180]

The only positive is it looks to increase social interaction/engagement in the real world with people since isolation has been uprising each year. Everything else not impressed. #1 You have to wear this thing on ur face for hours to be useful, some people don't want that. #2 anything that's smart means ads shoved directly in ur face #3 hacking #4 if its subscription based hell no stop trying to be like landlords, utility companies and streaming services, too many subscriptions to expensive $5 This product looks to take up as much of your time as possible each day #6 not impressed, excited or even pysched about it

​ 1)people that don't like wearing AR glasses can be stuck using smartphones. 2)You won't have ads unless you use the free version of apps. Payed version doesn't have ads. 3)hacking is not a problem on phones, can't see it being a problem on AR glasses 4)it's not subscription based 5)this product is supposed to replace both the smartphone and laptop, so yeah, you will use it a lot. 6)you would be excited if it had an apple logo at the back, ofc

[@mikeanderson1370]

​@@AndreVictorGoncalves (1) you can't call it "stuck" if you don't hate the smartphone and you don't like the glasses. (2) "ads in your face" is referencing ads we are force to see on literally every website we go to. And with glasses, you 100% WILL have ads shoved directly in your face. (3) my phones have been hacked. It can happen. (5) it will absolutely NEVER replace computer, for the simple reasons that computers will likely always be more powerful and hold more space and just be able to do more things, because everytime technology gets better, the big stuff improves along with the small stuff, and I will NEVER prefer a small screen over a big screen, AND duebto natural eye strain, I can't see glasses staying on heads longer than the average human can binge their favorite show on their computer or TV. (6) I've always hated apple, aside from their MacBook, so no, an apple logo won't make me love it more.

I wear prescription glasses so I know how annoying glasses are. I don't think this tech will get popular. I think we need good content, not a new way to consume average content.

[@shink9844]

Imagine your company forces you to wear these at work. They can track everything you are doing and even looking at. When they send you a notification, they can know exactly when you saw it. It’s not unrealistic that every interaction you ever have will now be recorded from a first person POV, like body cams on steroids. If someone takes out their phone and starts recording, that requires an obvious action detectable by others and is usually for a discrete period of time. You can usually see where someone is pointing their phone. With glasses, what are you going to do… tell them to stop looking in a certain direction? Tell them to take their glasses off? Trust that they aren’t first person recording you, your kids, your credit card number when you pull out your card, etc.? Zuckerberg was caught covering his laptop camera with tape. Wonder why… perhaps it’s bc he’s directly aware of what our devices can do even if you don’t intend for it.

Eventually the tech will fit in a pair of contacts as well. How will you ever know you are being recorded? And after that, neural implants. Blade Runner style future is on the way!

[@yinol880]

@@mattl1025 Great points. You never know when you really have one. Battery is always a problem, but if you have a VR at home, you may want to try AR outside.The main use of this is to release your hands from holding a screen and it follows you. Currently widely used in all post offices and disctrution center like Amazon and Fedex while you hold something and it can scan the QR code for you. Also it is used for remote training system where you don't need to hold phone to your coach. I believe this is a critical pain points where free peoples hand from holding phones while our hands can do more things. Another great use is for virtural meeting, if everyone holding phones for a group chat, the screen is small and you can only see small heads, while with AR, you can locate them in space and chat freely with that spatial audio. That means people can talk to each other closeby without interference the others like current zoom meetings.

You and your grandma are in different states, yet you are both together shopping in Venice in a store with virtual-scaping/real-scan.. The you two go outside and virtually walk along the boardwalk in Venice where a giant great white shark leaps out of the canal, bites your grandma in half(with body fluids flying everywhere) and then the shark tells you to get met-life insurance. The glasses will be subscription-based and free. The cost to make them will be less than $5 within 5 years . Everything serves two purposes-one for your convenience / entertainment and one for systemic control. Your status determines your real benefit.I knew this 25 years ago. My version had more hemispherical lenses with facial scanning to import on to your avatar . 600 hz refresh and 1:1 pixel to rod/cone ratio.

Ok, but hear me out. I have prescription glasses. LOL! I think they are missing the point... ... AR glasses could be a big thing if they projected this to work environment and not for outside. There'a a lot potential to warehouses, drivers and deliveries, etc. They should be focus ONLY on that. The rest will follow.

When wearing them you still look and act like a weirdo. You take 3x the time to grab or pinch the objects. This is Nintendo Wii level (2006). It still needs some more billions. Will flop again.

No

not everyone wears glasses just to wear glasses…that’s one. second…no one will replace their phones with AR glasses. i’m talking about the average consumer. techies like myself, yes….this is cool. to say people are tired of screens yet the glasses are basically displaying a screen. lol anyway, they’re cool.
