    I’m sure you can think of hypothetical use cases for Google Glass and Meta AI RayBans.

    I … can’t actually. What do these things actually do that a phone can’t?

      So I was thinking about this recently with a colleague and there are two things that I think would be useful:

      • I would actually like a HUD? Like a minimap when walking through the city. Or the ability to popup a small YT video in the corner of my eye. I have no idea if it would actually work with how human vision works, but that’s a cool idea for me.
      • Universally good idea: smart glasses that detect advertising billboards and other shit like that and automatically replace them with something. Could be just with white space, or with pleasant landscapes, or giant dicks if you’re into that. The possibilities are quite endless. Would be universally beloved by everyone.

      Augmented reality for the Google Glass. Not, it turns out, for the Meta Raybans, cos they don’t even have screens or projectors!

        Wait what? So what are those glasses? I thought they were AR glasses? What do they do then.
