Came across this review on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fxtl9VChZhM

Monochrome (green) head mounted display that looks like a regular pair of glasses. Mainly useful as a HUD. Has a microphone but no speakers. Seems to have basic head tracking. Marketing claims a day and a half of battery life with light use.

Main Features:

  • Teleprompter
  • Live Translation
  • Speech-to-Text 30-Second Notes
  • Phone Notifications
  • AI Assistant (an LLM)
  • GPS navigation
  • Time/Date/Weather

I think wearable tech is pretty cool and having a hud in your glasses is awesome. But these features don't interest me. I am struggling to think of what features I would want/need from glasses which doesn't help.

I think the meta ray-band glasses look pretty cool because of the video recording but are ruined by the Facebook integration and price.

I personally think these features are useful, though I find the design of the gps navigation to be heavy handed. But the price is way too high for what you get.
