The problem with Google Glass is that had a form factor which limited what could be done. On top of that it was a beta product and you technically needed to be a developer with I think C language knowledge to be allowed to purchase one. Even if you could buy it the device was like $1,000+ because it wasn’t a consumer ready model.

    Yeah the idea was so bad Apple stopped developing future Apple Vision products and pivoted to release an affordable alternative.

    This thread seems to have a whole lot of hopefulness and not much actual data they are going off. If Apple actually launches a good usable pair for a decent price, it will all become "I wish manufacturers never made these" and people yelling pervert at someone on the street will result in them getting sued/arrested/baker acted.

    It's been 12 years since glass went public, I have to imagine someone figured out decent ways to work the upgrades in hardware since into them.

    2013 version: 45nm Chip made by Texas instruments.

    Any chip from 2026/7 will run laps around it
