Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta

I think the fundamental problem with the AR glasses is something that can’t be overcome.

I think its easy to see the utility to owning a pair of glasses that look good and provide real time information as desired for what you are looking at or hearing.

HOWEVER, I think very few people will want the product these co.panies will make. This will be a method to throw ads literally in front of your eyeballs. Enshitification is too big of a thing now and so any new product is tainted by the expectation it will rapidly turn to garbage at a high price to you.

Also, while we may think we can be trusted, we dont trust anyone else having all that info, I dont like the obvious privacy implications that these can present. Filming with them is also terrifying.

So, just to be clear, that ‘something that can’t be overcome’ is… checks notes capitalism?

You might be giving people too much credit here because the same things could be said about a lot of products and services that have come out over the last 10 years

  😆 And here I was think I wasn’t giving anyone any credit. I just proclaimed none of us could be trusted!

Yeah my best guess is that at most these will at best lead to homebrew and specialist uses. For example I have to wear glasses my astigmatism is rather severe so contacts don’t work, so if I could attach a small projector to my glasses and put my phones display onto it I would have so many uses.
