I love how they put a pic of "Epstein File Mark" in the article ;)

Those would be all very valid uses but the problem is is that they're not smart glasses. They are just normal glasses (well non prescription fake plastic glasses) with a camera in them. If they could give you directions or something on a sort of holographic heads up display they might have some use.

    The new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses do have a display. But in any case, these applications work almost just as fine with speakers as well, and the Ray-Ban glasses had those and supports reading documents, describing surrounds etc.

    Plain glasses with camera come much cheaper. Though now that I looked it up, the Meta glasses are surprisingly affordable as well.

    edit: scratch that, I don't know what I was looking.. For me Ray-Bans would be 500€ and Metas maybe 1000€.
