At least with a smartphone it’s pretty clear when someone is filming you. Google Glass was too much of an enabler for creeps.

Google Wear is pretty much Google Glass on your wrist, so you don't burn out your eyes looking up and to the side.

nah, glass was impressive for a such a big org like google, but smartphones are popular because people use them like portable televisions. glanceable info and walking directions are more like an apple watch sized market, without the fashion element. meta is about to find out.

“Inevitable” does not mean “desirable”. Delaying bad outcomes is worthwhile.

Well if I had foresight, I wouldn't need glasses

Wild that people would downvote your low stake personal opinion given as a direct ask from OP. I am 100% with you.

Google Glass was so much before its time, it might be reinvented a few more times and abandoned again before finally becoming a success.

yea, crazy, I upvoted just now.

google glass sucks though and glasses will never be a thing. google and meta and … can spend $8T and come up with the most insane tech etc but no one will be wearing f’ing glasses :)

I don’t think people are downvoting for the mention of Google Glass, but due to the rest of the comment making a value judgement many are sure to disagree with.
