    I’ve been evangelising for smart glasses for years. But even if they get the functionality I’ve been hoping for I’m still not going to get them, because i don’t want every woman i meet to think I’m secretly recording her tits

    There’s no way I’m letting Elon musk do brain surgery on me to harvest my thoughts

      People forget about the other genders when it comes to the issues with smart glasses. And kids. Where is the “for the safety of our children” mob, when we need one?

      What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.

      Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.

        Oh, plenty of what i want is gimmicky. GIVE ME A HUD!

        But i can think of things like overlaying arrows on the environment when getting walking directions, setting reminders by seeing things/people, being able to fully view 3d objects when doing things like identifying something (say a flower you’ve seen) by image

          Yeah this usual stuff would be nice but the trade off with privacy and surveillance is not worth the risk IMO. :(

          I want a health bar.

            Yeah, as i say - i love the idea. The practical reality, at least so far, is shit. And i don’t see any way for it to get better rather than worse
