Ok, so it's like this....

I always thought I kept myself up to date on all things tech wise, but I genuinely had no idea about these smart glasses. My co-worker told me about it today and like me he's a big gamer but also loves movies.

He told me he can play Xbox games via the app since the glasses run on Android. He claims the quality is fantastic, however I know him to be someone that can exeggerate a bit about things. He mentioned 8K and what not, but truly how good does gaming look on a very good smart glasses? The ones he bought set him back €1200, not sure about what brand.

Years ago during PS360 era I used a projector, can I expect a experience similar to that? Also, how is contrast, black levels? Anyone here with smart glasses and if so, can you share your experience and impressions?

I mean, obviously it will be via streaming, right? So I can't help but wonder about overall picture quality when using those glasses. I should go check out a store here to see if I can demo some of those.

They are the future, I think. Folks will get SUPER addicted to instant content in their eyeballs. Of course I guess it depends on how visible that window showing porn is to others while you are in a meeting, but I'm sure the designers are hard at work making sure YOUR privacy is intact whilst stripping it away from every one else.

On the one hand, if we can do away with garish real world billboards and signage, maybe we can improve our architectural aesthetic. But I think it will just be horrible pop-up ads in your vision.

Of course, what we REALLY need are glasses that strip away the influences and try to get us to live a better life...

Glasses don't make you smart no matter what they say.

Nobody like a smartasses.

Sure they do, and ugly as well. Hollywood says so!

But sunglasses work in reverse, they make you handsome and clever

It's certainly interesting to see where things are going and especially how fast everything is happening now. Personally if I were to ever get one I would be using it to watch a movie in bed or something. I'd just lie down and watch it, instead of having a laptop or tablet on my lap and getting neck or back problems in the process.

I can't see myself using it much for living room gaming because I have my Sony A95K here, and there is no way in hell those glasses can compete with the quality that TV produces. And I guess some people would use it outside to watch shit but that's not me. When I go outside it's mostly with my dog and all my attention obviously goes to her then.

Still, I'm definitely curious to just try it out.

I just want them to do facial recognition and let me know the name of the person I am talking to and how I know them/they know me.

Would have been great for me my entire life. Guess I was born old and with dementia.

Become a useless term really. A wearable display shouldn't be used for smart glasses. Hell people were calling the Meta RayBans that and they don't even have a display just a camera.

The only smart glasses weee google glass that I'm aware of.

nah, there are multiple new ones now with display directly in the lens

Right now? Niche as fuck. Nobody cares.

In the future..likely highly refined, and will eventually reach a consumer friendly price. I think it will be a slow burn, for years.

This will be a privacy nightmare, so no way this will happen in Europe. Although I just saw Meta Oakleys in Fnac today, I wonder what can you do with them in France, because sure as hell you cannot record others without their permission.

Did you read my post? I'm aware.

Google Glass could do AR and were the original "smart glasses." Wearable displays have been around for 30 years.

Definitely the future

Smart glasses, or as I like to call them, Not-So-Smart glasses, are a waste of time, money, and resources.

I ain't giving them a nickel.
