I know it is your dream. But, doing a presentation while wearing sunglasses indoor doesn't exactly transmit humanity, connection nor empathy. I would nope out of that presentation. Everything else is just an app. They are all non-critical things, they don't require a HUD.

Anyways, that's irrelevant because meta glasses don't have screens. So, no AR functionality.

    They don't have to be sunglasses. Google glasses worked how many years ago.

    I mean, nothing strictly speaking is. But having hands-free screen actually opens some nice possibilities that holding a phone in your hand doesn't afford.

    Wait, they don't? What the fuck is the point then.

    To be a creepy perv. It was obvious since first revealed.

    Also, Google glasses were just as creepy. Thy worked in the technical sense. Complete social and market failure though.

    I will say the point, it is an extension of your phone essentially. A very expensive, pointless, and ultimately creepy extension.

    It's like buying a smart watch, so you can ask it stuff, and not use anything else it can do. When your phone can probably still listen to you perfectly fine.
