been thinking a lot about the future and technology and I got to the point where like "damn...virtual reality is finna be cool, but AUGMENTED REALITY THO?! :word: "

I feel like google glass was the commercial beginning of that, but it was just to early. anybody see any better versions recently or sum?

Augmented reality is def gonna be mainstream. Just need to Apple-fy it. Apple has proven that you don’t need to make something insanely powerful to get the masses to buy it. It just needs to look clean. We live in a consumer culture where people buy products to portray themselves to others. If something looks good and has relative functionality, people gonna cop it

Absolutely was ahead of its time and I hope to see it come back more refined in the future

Google Glass failed cause it was super nerdy and creepy asf and had more potential for bad than good

I feel like Apple Glasses will have a lot of the same problems but people will ignore them cause of clout

I remember seeing it and thinkin in the next ten years everyone gon have this s***

what can you do with it that you can't just do easier by yourself? the same thing with siri

Yep

Design was awful and functionality wasn't there yet. Just like all the current foldable phones.

The thing about google glass is that people didnt want cameras in their face and being recorded when they werent aware and it was expensive but it was solid tho

Work or a company who is involved in major companies.

We wanted google glass but it is only sold for certain third parties to augment their jobs already. So Google glass is still kicking, just not for the public.

Let's see how Apple does it

Yup it was just poorly executed

Wouldn’t mind a virtual girl topping me tbh

Google Glass also came out around the same time as when Snowden leaked PRISM. I imagine the timing didn’t help Google

yes

Idea seemed cool as but the functionality was so limited

Take a break from anime vro

Eric Andre already proved this

Social media have been helping to break this concept of privacy.

It will take a couple years to people realize this and say: "you know what... I'm already exposed by my social media that I don't mind this"

Then the main problem about privacy around the Google Glass will be gone and we will fully live in a Black Mirror kinda of society

Edit: and yes, Google Glass was definitely ahead of time

Not reallt smartphones are already just as invasive

Not really... The entire project was pretty much some try-hard wannabe sci-fi future s***, so I’m not really sure how it could be ahead of it’s time.

Internet of things is stupid and useless and are branded to say that we need it when we dont.

My own two eyes work fine thank you
