I’ve been evangelising for smart glasses for years. But even if they get the functionality I’ve been hoping for I’m still not going to get them, because i don’t want every woman i meet to think I’m secretly recording her tits

There’s no way I’m letting Elon musk do brain surgery on me to harvest my thoughts

    What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.

    Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.

    Oh, plenty of what i want is gimmicky. GIVE ME A HUD!

    But i can think of things like overlaying arrows on the environment when getting walking directions, setting reminders by seeing things/people, being able to fully view 3d objects when doing things like identifying something (say a flower you’ve seen) by image
