Forget smartphones. According to Mark Zuckerberg, the real interface of the future is what’s sitting on your nose. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have become a surprise hit.

Meta is a privacy & data security nightmare, and if anyone wants to use these, you’re risking your privacy to his benefit in the name of profit. My opinion. Think smarter when it comes to your tech purchases. These aren’t one of them.

VR has it uses - I love VR games, immersive experience is very cool. Also VR fitness apps finally made me want to exercise, finally workouts feel like fun, not a chore. But what he was proposing is moronic. Nobody wants to work wearing headsets.

These replies takes me back to 2008 when people proudly declaimed they had no use for smartphones. Everyone will have AR glasses, they will be very useful, they will also destroy privacy. It will not be these glasses, but, barring the apocalypse, in a decade, Zuck is right (only about this)

They already sell millions of these crappy things that hardly do anything, flash an led when on, and have terrible battery life. When they're cheap, record and AI-analyze everything you do, last all day on a charge, and provide a customizable HUD-skin on the real world...yes everyone will use them.

I'm not Nostradamus, and don't claim to be able to see the future, but there isn't a tech I'm more certain of rolling out and transforming society than AR. And to get back to my earlier point, with some people it feels exactly like 2008 and smartphones. Why would I want an app on my phone?

In 2000 there were academic articles about how packet based data (vs voice) was going to take over cellular networks. There is not similar research. Does joy feel the same to me.

Do you seriously think AR glasses aren't coming? I get that many are fearful of them and don't see the point, but it's hard to believe you can't see they are inevitable as they're already rolling out in primitive form.
aug 30, 2025, 5:37 pm • 0 0 • view
But there are a lot of tech products that were touted as the future and then never really caught on. Sometimes it has to do with the expense of the product and the state of the economy its being rolled out in.
aug 30, 2025, 9:36 pm • 0 0 • view
I agree, but everything is converging on AR. Computervision with self-driving cars and other applications, miniature display tech with phones and smartwatches, the sensing hardware with gyroscopes/microphones/barometers/lidar, the battery tech from smartphones and EVs....AR glasses are coming.
aug 30, 2025, 9:40 pm • 0 1 • view
AR glasses will be very cool and do many useful things. HUD for surgeons or putting together IKEA for example. Directions in your field of view. Recording and cataloging all interactions. The bad part is they will destroy all sense of privacy. Or at a min, transform it.
aug 30, 2025, 9:42 pm • 0 0 • view
I dont think those are all cool or useful. Especially the recording all interactions. But also I dont want my brain chronically overstimulated by having shit constantly in my FOV. And since it would 100% be used for ads, I care even less for it.

Would you use a smartphone and social media in a vacuum? They had many similar tradeoffs, but you need one today. These will be the same, unless you're some old person or weirdo.
aug 30, 2025, 9:58 pm • 0 0 • view
I think our disconnect is I don’t see AR glasses as a 1 to 1 comparison with smart phones. Again, I see them as a peripheral and not the actual computer. Phones are the computer. I don’t think AR glasses will ever be a need product, and as of rn, I don’t see them taking off either.
aug 30, 2025, 10:01 pm • 0 0 • view
To me they’re just a peripheral w/o real purpose coming out at a time where really no one can afford them. That alone can be damning for a product. The only ppl I know who use AR in any form are mobile -Go players.
aug 30, 2025, 9:50 pm • 0 0 • view
Going to be a while still. Today's glasses are just strange niche to make bad recordings. But, in a decade or so, when they start doing everything a cellphone does today (although I think we'll keep the phones too) then you'll see them takeoff. We'll be living in social media. Social media = IRL
aug 30, 2025, 9:53 pm • 0 0 • view
This kind of feels like a Sinclair product from the 80s. Where it will take 30+ years and better companies to roll out anything close to the product that would be useful and take hold by consumers.
aug 30, 2025, 9:53 pm • 0 0 • view
Yeah it isn't this product that's for sure. I'm not really sure why people are buying at this stage. When battery gets better IRL streamers would have a reason for them. Also lots of businesses to protect from liability/customer complaints. But we're not 30 years from AR.
aug 30, 2025, 9:55 pm • 0 0 • view
Businesses are already using discreet body cameras but mostly to monitor employee behavior than anything the customers do. And I haven’t see any articles suggest it’s had a positive impact so far.
aug 30, 2025, 9:58 pm • 0 0 • view
I don't disagree, but also don't think it will matter and companies will deploy them anyway. Imagine upsell prompts for waiter in their field of view, details gleaned from previous waiter encounters like kids names /food allergies etc. Going to be creepy and useful.
