It’s Google Glass all over again.

Google glass could have been something cool actually. A small, non-intrusive HUD. I guess it released too early.

People freaked out about the hidden camera, those glasses looked actually wearable

People were freaking out about a camera whereas in 2024 you can't escape a single camera when outside

I would almost wager that the police and executive branch are the only ones who don’t want cameras on glasses. Let’s make cameras on glasses ubiquitous.

I’m meaning more in the sense of a wearable head device developed by a big tech company. It’s heavily marketed as the next big thing. Many talk about it - both with anticipation and concern. And when it finally releases, it’s quickly forgotten about.

Hololens did the same.
