The glasses don't have HUDs/screens. There are no real time visual clues.
Then whats the point of them? Just a camera?
You can ask it questions.
What? I thought that was the whole point. Incredibly lame.
Of course they have a display, what the hell do you think would be the point of them otherwise? Theyre still fucking dumb, but they'd be even more dumb if they were JUST cameras. Those have also already existed for ages. I remember seeing 'spy camera glasses' on Chinese reseller sites like dealextreme way back in like 2012.
The base version, which was the only one available for a while, doesn't.
No these don't have a display. You've obviously never seen these. Mostly they're a built-in speaker in the arms of the glasses and they have a camera that can record but you have to play it back on like your phone or something.
They don't have a display.
They literally do. it's pretty simple to just google it instead of being absurdly incorrect and then doubling down.
Most models don't have any kind of display at all. The most recent model that isn't widely available anywhere yet has a tiny notification window.
The vast majority of glasses out in the wild that people are using today do not have displays.
That will change, but right now, if you see someone wearing these glasses, you can be close to certain it doesn't have a display.
I was curious and it seems like only the newest fancy models have the screen ability, it seems like most are just camera headphones with AI.
The older models didn't. Only the newest one does.
