Glasses tend to be one of those things people are very particular because it gives other an impression of them. Thick rimmed glasses, hipster. steel circle lenses, my gay roommate. Nobody has come up with a concept yet that gives people control over the look of the glasses. They just make you look like a d-bag now. it's like a bluetooth headset on steroids for antisocial points. If they made something embedded completely in the frame with visuals splayed on the lens i'd buy it but they'd need to look like normal glasses. Also there just aren't any cool features out there that are far along enough in dev. if i could get reliable live translations overlaid on text and stuff like that then hell yeah it's worth it.

I think the killer app would be "who the fuck are you" that matches people's faces with their names on social media as you look at them

yeah but what if you're sitting on the train and you glance over at some guy and it's like 'the man who raped your mother in college and ITS YOUR REAL DAD YOU'RE THE CHILD OF A RAPIST' and you got that on your plate now.

too soon. Not good enough. When they can replace a desktop, then it will be ready.
