Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta
taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoThe most useful applications I can think of that would run permanently (while wearing them) would be stuff like name tags for people if you are forgetful, labeling roads in front of you with their names or maybe the destinations in that direction at an intersection and similar low intrusiveness applications. Certainly nothing that could be considered a killer application.

Yeah, I suppose they could also be useful for translation when travelling someplace where you can’t read the language, provided it’s reasonably accurate and not too laggy?
In terms of occasional use, I was thinking they could be good for loading speeches or music/lyrics when you’re up on a stage. But while that seems like it ought to be a fairly trivial feature to implement, as both a software developer and performer, I could see this being more challenging than you think to get a good experience out of that sort of app.

For sure, I mean, we already have had google lens for almost a full decade. Phones already do real-time overlaid translation with nearly no lag through the camera. The glasses can literally just run that same app.
And for the meta demo, he was indeed using them as his teleprompter.
