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

They are all non-critical things

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.

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

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.
