Well ahead of Apple
Is this supposed to indicate that Meta is beating Apple to market?
Because I’ve got news for you then, neither are “first”, and it’s completely irrelevant which is first, if they can’t present a strong use case, which all previous attempts have failed at.
At least google glasses were dorky
You ahould be able to do so many amazing things with AR… in theory. But we don’t have the tech to make it a reality. Even Apple’s headset, with all its theoretical power, can’t do basic AR things like real-time object recognition and tracking. It’s little more than an iPad you wear on your face. That’s not AR. In theory, Apple Vision has the power to do that stuff. So why doesn’t it? Why can’t it? What did they do wrong?
Until and unless a patch is provided to remove the need for meta I see no point in these glasses.
Even then, you know that these glasses are going to be priced in such a way that is subsidized by data harvesting somehow.
A free and open firmware hack would make them way more interesting
Apple ain’t getting a lot of credibility given “AI” still hasn’t launched yet(?)
isn’t that a good thing? i am tired of llms being forced into everything
apple has implemented junk AI (image playground, useless notification summaries, etc) while delaying the one thing (imo) AI could actually help them with - integration with siri.
It’s unfortunately inevitably coming. But we’re allowed to laugh at the disconnect between their marketing and product department.
Google Glass seeing all the new AR glasses: “Man, they just weren’t ready for me yet…”
It’s still Facebook and I’m still not giving them a camera and mic on my face.

Bloomberg has shared reports from unnamed insiders that the device, codenamed Hypernova, is expected to launch later this year and will feature a monocular design, as in it will use only one display rather than a pair of screens – two details we’ve already heard.
This single panel would sit in the lower-right corner of the right lens, so it should allow you conveniently see information by looking down without obscuring your vision greatly.
It sounds like they’re kinda trying to compete with the watch market or something. Like, not trying to display something that you’d spend your whole time looking at, or even a virtual overlay, but just some status information that you can glance at without being super-obvious about it.
They also have cameras. I don’t totally get the use case. I guess maybe you could take a picture of someone’s face, upload the photo to Meta, do facial recognition on it, and then have personal details sent back to the screen at the bottom of your right eye.
So it’s Google Glass.
That’s literally just Google Glass.
Who would even want that?
This is much more innovative than Google Glass, it’s now in the bottom right corner. That’s what 13 years of innovation looks like. /s
The cameras and screen are for two different purposes.
The cameras do what they already do, act like an action camera type thing giving you POV recordings and live streams.
The display is basically going to do what the old Google glass did. Give you heads up notifications, navigation markers, potentially some game integration. Basically what a smart watch does now.

You helped fuck over the global economy, why do you think anyone cares about your fucking AR spy glasses at a time when severe global recession hits?

No I mean them buying a seat at Trump’s inauguration, rolling back DEI commitments / departments, ushing in AI to lay off thousands, and all the privacy / security issues they already do.
