It's so funny to watch all of these tech companies try to make Google glass again like the concept didn't fall flat on its face a decade ago.
Only a small handful of people are interested in the idea, and the general public hates them.
You clearly don't understand. Google glasses didn't have Augmented reality.
With these AR glasses you can have fluffy fur balls in different colors that jump around you everywhere you go.
If that isn't worth $2200 to look like an idiot, IDK what is?
For it to be desirable, the form factor needs to be indistinguishable from normal sunglasses or specs. With current technology it's not even close to being achievable. The battery tech just isn't there for starters. I have no idea why big tech thought this was just around the corner and thought just throwing money at an impossible problem would just make it possible.
Hates? No. Not even near. Just cannot afford.
In this case it's both.
