“I saw all these comments about if you wear those glasses you’re basically a predator or a creep, and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe it’s not a good idea to have those,’” said Kujawa. "I didn’t really think that through all the way… there are a lot of times where it’s not appropriate to wear cameras on your face."
Words to live by.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains convinced that smart glasses will eventually replace the smartphone.

Just a regular reminder that facebook has a massive child sex material trade problem, that they’ve actively done nothing to prevent, but they have called police on reporters reporting on it.
So Zuckerberg wanting his creepnology on every face, in every bathroom, hospital, etc, while he gets a copy of every video, is very much in character

If they didn’t have a camera, I think they’d stand a better chance. I think they should just be a screen that links to your phone and peripherals. Honestly the little wrist typing input seem pretty cool to me. If I could type with them onto like a low-res glass ink display it’d be fine. I’m not gonna wear a camera on my face nor am I going to wear some bulky nonsense, just no chance. If they could look like slim glasses and take wireless power from something on my neck or headphones, I think they’d be a viable peripheral input product.
Zuckerberg wants wants to put the compute on your face, for some reason. Even turning the phone into a brick you interact with through the peripherals seems unrealistic since the glasses would need to have multicolor display without being bulky. Dude needs some people with basic sense to tell him no and guide him to something more realistic.
There’s a long history of pointless peripherals and people finding obscure use cases. I wouldn’t mind trying to write or code with them. I’m not sure if it’d work since writing these days usually involves a full office suite and coding invovles some sort of IDE… maybe texting? notes in class? Very basic games like Pong? a search function? Reading like a kindle?
I can see some neat little things being appealing.

Sure, Jan.

If they didn’t have a camera they’d be pointless, there’s really no reason to have a screen on your face if it wasn’t to help AR the world.
Which is why it’s going to need an extremely valid reason to use them aside from being a creeper.

There’s a YouTube guy that made his own and uses it as a teleprompter during his videos. Certainly a niche use case.
There is no market for such niches.
