    Google glass seemed to me like it could have been the one to stick. Less wonky, but the whole camera thing I guess freaked people out?

      Yeah I bet if they re-released it with better hardware, no one would bat an eye compared to the initial release. Hell I would go as far as to say people would buy it just to have Bard AI integrated into it. Because people are people and people buy things.

        At this point they could probably make it look enough like regular glasses that most people wouldn’t even notice someone wearing it.

            For people buying this, yes. For people interested in an unobtrusive Google glass style option, I think not so much.

          They have and it didn’t have the same fanfare that Google glass got, granted, not entirely the same concept, but the camera was the issue.

            Ehh, sort of. There was a lot more to glass than just being a camera for livestreaming.

            I remember a lot of talk about “gl-assholes” and how dumb people wearing it looked. But if those Wayfarers had an AR display inside, no one would ever know.
