just found out these glasses are not even Augmented Reality. They have neither screens nor projectors. Just cameras, a mic, and bone conduction earphones. The interface is voice control. They are literally only for taking creepshots. So Zuckerberg is staying on-brand.

    They're allegedly useful for visually impaired users, but I strongly doubt Zuckerberg's thought of that particular untapped market, or interested in taking advantage of it.

    I've already predicted Meta Rayban wearers would be assaulted in the street, but I wouldn't be shocked if visually impaired peeps kept away from them as well - whatever accessibility boons they may grant, it is not worth getting called a creepshotter and/or your ass getting beaten.

    (Sidenote: This is the second time I've seen a tech accessibility related shitshow so far - the first was some alt-text drama I ran into three days ago.)
