Smart glasses offer the rare opportunity for a computer to be at eye and ear level and be embedded into an accessory a majority of folks already wear. The problem is, much like Private Eye, the very first wearable computer, companies are still struggling to figure out how to make smart glasses look cool while also making them of use to us. In this video, Becca takes a look at the history of smart glasses in order to figure out what might be coming next. #SmartGlasses #Technology

    • I hope (but doubt) it'll come out of left field, either a startup or an existing company that has faded somewhat into obscurity. It'd be nice to get a fresh perspective on consumer tech, shake up the playing field, and have the giants scrambling to respond.

  • I remember when I first got the Snapchat spectacles and they felt like a small look into the future. They didn’t really capitalize and expand on that initial idea but it was so fun capturing moments from a first person view and reliving them later on VR goggles. So glad we are finally getting better versions of those ideas nearly a decade later

    @sneakingelephant@sneakingelephant2 ай бұрын

  • I agree with everything, but the end. the idea of privacy is not so appealing to consumers. Just look at Google or meta succeeding even though they are the worst in privacy matters. And also we have not been talking about the prices the people are going to pay and I think it is going to be way more than what a smart phone did to people.

  • You should look up Metas VR prototypes, theres a bunch of public talks their VR research team. A few years ago they got a whole VR screen/lens stack into like 8mm. Its just a waiting game until they balance passthrough and offboard compute. They use holograms of lenses instead of actual physical lenses. Its bonkers.

  • "the company that we will trust the most". More realistic for the majority: "the company that does it the cheapest while providing the best functionality". To me it seems that most people sadly prioritize price over privacy. I mean... otherwise there also wouldn't be so many people buying hardware by Meta... the company behind Facebook and a gigantic amount of privacy violations.

  • This piece highlights that we're still basically waiting on the hardware technology to catch up to our imaginations for magic spectacles. Getting things to fit into ski goggles form factor is challenging enough, but there won't be a smartphone-like moment until it can all fit into sunglasses frames. What Meta and others are doing is still quite limited and probably more useful for accessibility in the near term than broad adoption. You can see the potential, though, much like how things were coalescing in the 2000s from standalone GPS units, cell phones, PDAs, and mp3 players into this one device we call a smartphone. Good video, Becc and team. 😎

    • Apple’s also the only one whose business model is not funded by data or sales of data or ad targeting. Yes they have a small ad sales platform for App Store search page but they argue it’s more to help small developers get discovered and they do not sell of store the data linked to you, they anonymize it and then they encrypt it and keep that to themselves. They don’t even offer very good info on ad reach and clicks and stuff back to devs that buy ads.
