    Wearing these glasses in public should be a punchable offense.

    Seriously you’d have to be an absolute idiot who somehow got their hands on too much money to think these were a good idea to purchase. The concept is great, but wearing Facebook on your face is bonkers.

      I’m not a fan of the concept at all. I’m not comfortable going out in public and having someone fillm me with their phone camera, so I’m extra uncomfortable with people walking around with cameras affixed to their faces.

        Yeah that side of it is a significant issue, I guess I meant the concept of augmented reality glasses that can run an overlay on the world is great. But you’re right, it doesn’t work without some kind of camera to work out where to orient the overlay and that camera needs to be pretty constant. The issue of recording everyone everywhere aside (and that’s big thing to put aside) there are other significant issues like relying on a product supplier to not cover everything in ads or not harvest the video feeds and sell them or use them to train other products. Even if they say they’ll never do those things … the next CEO might not give a damn aboutthat commitment.

        It’s only going to keep getting worse until it somehow blows up in some way huge enough to get the vast majority of morons to actually care enough to fight it. I unfortunately have little hope for that happening in my lifetime.

    Display on my glasses? That would be neat. Camera and microphone on my glasses? Why the fuck would I want that.

    It’s a devil’s bargain. Except that the benefit is pretty slim next to the obvious cost.
