Didn't Google try this a decade ago with Google Glass, but recieved such a negative response over privacy concerns that it abandoned the project.

Am I remembering this wrong? Have people's views on privacy changed to the point where this is acceptable? Does Meta not have the features that Google did which prompted to backlash?

Unless this solves the main problems of headaches, batter life, and looking like a fucking idiot it'll fail just like Google did.

That said Google glass (2014)and this are about 10y apart in technology advances.
