Good, shame is deserved. Imagine the looks you'd get with two phones taped to your temples.

The use cases I care about is roughly:

1. GoPro on my face for “action” activities like gokarting

2. Portable speakers + glasses + voice control for audio while running

3. Audio triggered camera for when hands are full. This one sounds dumb, but it’s one specific object in hands that matters. Your own kid. It’s a less intrusive way to capture moments from your perspective that you have with them. I am surprised that this isn’t where they focused ad dollars.

    1) You can't use a GoPro like everyone else?

    2) You can't use Bluetooth earbuds like everyone else?

    3) I'm sure your infant child will appreciate their representation in Meta's training data.

    I would never use a product from that company for any purpose.

This outcome was totally foreseeable but somehow Zuck and Boz blew billions anyway.

I've honestly never seen someone wearing them in the wild. Is it just like a San Francisco thing?
