And do you think they will be mass adopted to replace smartphones once the technology becomes good enough or will the general public revolt against them like they did with google glasses? Meta just released a new pair of smart glasses which lets you have a discreet POV camera ready to film at all times, discreetly listen to music, view a projected screen just by looking to the side which is not observable to others, talk to an always present AI for any thoughts or questions that pop up during the day, discreetly send text messages by drawing letters on your leg, have instant translation for speech or text that pops up in your view, etc…
I don’t have to wear my smartphone on my head, though. Smart glasses will always lose in that regard.
And I don’t have to hold my glasses in my hand, look away from what’s in front of me to see through them, or pull them out of my pocket. To me that’s way more convenient, but I already wear glasses; so I could understand how it could be annoying or intrusive to others.
Edit: Also, an eventual AR interface would open the door for all kinds of uses we could never get out of a phone.
