  I almost like the idea of augmented reality with similar tech. I’d love it if I could look down the street and see historic photos of building overlaid perfectly.

  The issue isn’t the technology, it’s the people who are supplying it and it’s connection to the Internet and sharing. I don’t trust Google and I don’t trust Meta.

    I was referring to the privacy issues of Google Glass. I’m with you on the trust factor of these two companies.

    It’s not even that for me. Just don’t put a camera on the front.

      That defeats the purpose of augmented reality glasses if they can’t see in front of you.

        They still have GPS and a screen, they know where you are and can access local geodata. These things aren’t proper AR anyways like the Microsoft or Apple things that are set up to superimpose virtual content on top of IRL content, Glass was basically just a smartwatch for your face.

  I think the lesson they learned from Google Glass is that the glasses have to be cooler, not make you look like a nerd, and the technology has to be way better.

  Google Glass at least had a screen. This appears all phony based

  Cant believe I had to scroll down to see this.

  I read the headline and thought, “this again?”
