That’s men acting as they intended using a product as intended. There is no plot twist here.
I remember this media cycle from the GoogleGlass era. And while the initial reporting was “People are viciously attacking anyone seen wearing them!”, the business post-mortem was more that nobody was buying them to begin with.
These glasses are oversized, heavy, ugly, and pretty much useless for anyone who isn’t a pervert. The sticker price for this largely pointless gadget can go north of $800 retail. That’s a high-end PC or fully loaded PS5 for a small camera that sits on your face and some lenses that give you a Virtual Boy tier of AR overlay.
Who has time for this shit? There’s no use-case.
Excuse me but whens the last time you priced a “high end pc”? You’re living in the past…
👉👈 Maybe five years ago. Even then, I’ll admit “high end” is generous.
$800 is still a ton of money for an ugly pair of glasses with a gimmick nobody has implemented.
A high end gpu is >$2000 nowadays 😅
I mean, I saw 32GB ram sticks going for $1k the other day.
But you can get a Ryzen 9 9950X for under $700. The chips going up into the four and five figures are for very high end video rendering and machine learning.
To be fair, you can get a $800 high end PC… but it would be used and 4 to 5 generations out of date.
$800 might buy you the concept of a high end PC.
I can think of several use-cases: subtitles for the hearing impaired, translation, AR overlays for technical work, etc. Not saying they’re a good value, but it seems weird to say there’s no use-case.
And I genuinely don’t understand the pervert angle. What do they do for perverts that can’t be done with much cheaper button/pen cameras, or even a phone in your breast pocket?
Like sure, there are problems with surveillance and ads and other nasty tech bro shit, that much is obvious. But I sincerely do not understand why they’re being called pervert glasses. Am I missing something?
yup. they knew what they were doing when they made it possible to kill the notifcation light without killing the recording.
