Does anyone even want AR glasses? I don’t.

yes, not from apple though. That’s a guarantee they would be useless for a tinkerer

I mean, maybe of ots done well. I have the meta raybans and love them, mainly because I can listen to music as if I had earphones in, and talk on my phone with them, record, and take videos.

If it had a UI to select options and could display info too, that would be pretty sick imo.

I’m curious what drives you to record videos using the glass. As opposed to a phone/camera, the POV is very restricted as you cannot move vertically (unless kneel/crawl and look up/down ofc). So I’m sure it cannot be called a replacement to a traditional phone/camera.

So what is your motivation to use it ?

Actually I never record videos and rarely take pictures with them. It’s the feature i use the least.

I use them for music, phone calls, and AI requests (like having a Google home you can ask at any moment). Once and a while I’ll ask it to tell me what I’m looking at to listen to it describe something. That feature uses the camera to snap a shot of what your looking at.

When I walk somewhere and need to use maps, it tells the directions to me as I walk which is pretty neat.
