So whatever happened to this shit?

No market and it's hard cramming useful tech into that form factor. Intel tried something like this a couple of months ago and dropped it due to the fact that they couldn't foresee a return on the project

DOA

They push plenty of ads through Maps. Also they say they're losing money on YT but I think that's a lie

it's practically useless
>shows weather
>temp
>messages
>time
these things have to be known only occasionally, so wearing a device dedicated to these always is a waste of tolerance for uncomfortable equipment, energy and money

>implying it wouldn't be fucking gay if everyone were using these

I've considered doing the same thing, but decent HMDs are hard to find for cheap.
Just don't put a camera on it and make it white so it's obvious there isn't a camera on it and you should be fine. Places that have banned it didn't ban HMDs, they banned cameras always looking around (even though every phone has at least two cameras and phones are still allowed)

I wish they would make it look more like a scouter.

Society rejected it

It's just so fucking stupid that people are afraid of Glass when they are literally being watched and listened to every moment of their lives outside of their private home.

I love the concept and I hope an altruistic company (heh) can make such a device without all the spying shit that we can expect of Google

With Google Glass, I foresee (pun intended) Google augmenting real world advertisements like posters and billboards, to try and sell you shit. If this does happen, I hope they release sunshade variants so I can re-enact the scene from They Live where Nada discovers the truth.

There was some other big tech company that recently showed off their nearly finished prototype.
AR glasses are 100% coming for the mainstream market, Google was just a bit too early with theirs.

Apple

Please go back to >>>reddit, I seriously felt embarrassed when reading your post.

People didn't like the idea of having a camera strapped to their face at all times.
Also it looks retarded.
Apparently it currently has some applications in the medical field.

It still exists, but better and cheaper alternatives exist.

Name a couple.

normalfags are retarded and thought this was somehow more privacy invasive than a phone.

Intel are making glasses that use laser to display the information on the lens and it just look like regular glasse.

This always makes me kinda sad.

Some guy I worked with had a pair, the company said fuck no first day they saw him with it

This looks cool.
I keep thinking about getting a real HUD over my eyes, paired with some sort of hand gesture recognition, or just using my hands or fingers as a pointer to manage it in front of me. It would be nice to be able to manage data this way on the go. Having a list of addresses, reminders, timers, etc floating in front of me.

It looks stupid , nobody wanted to walk around looking like the Borg , then the price was too high.
People do want this technology but not if it advertises it while you're wearing it. And not for the price of a high end PC.

>Implying no one wants to see virtural times square buildboards everywhere like a cyberpunk movie

Did it have any decent games?

Looks retarded
Always on camera

>Intel made smart glasses that look normal
>that look normal
I had to laugh. Those don't look normal at all. They are big and bulky and the nose piece is huge.

Yeah, I mean who cares they're the largest ad service in the world and make the world's most used operating system.

They dropped these already.

It came WAY too early
this thing got semi-released at a time where even things like voice assistans were in their early stages
these days with tools like Google Lens and more AR things in general it has a lot more potential. It's only a matter of time

it's only a matter of time until we get things like glasses and hybrid devices
Ironically the Nintendo Switch is the most successful hybrid device right now, hate it all you want but it's raising awareness to a really great concept.
Ubuntu was around 10 years ahead of everyone with their idea

>world's most used operating system
Android is open source.

Why would a company lie to their shareholders saying they're losing money?
I mean I can understand lying about profits but not losses

Anyone want to buy one?

T.glasshole

source?

Just wait until your talking and self-driving car offers you to drive you to your nearest McDonalds.

>Also it looks retarded.
This is my biggest complaint. I might have bought one to try it out, but their unwillingness to make customizable versions was just stupid. Make them subtle and low key. I don't want people knowing that I am wearing it. It just look like any other pair of glasses and have multiple styles available.

they look pretty normal

Updated regularly and heavily used in industry, they gave up on selling to consumers because of all the retards.

>heavily used in industry
for what

leaving notes for the next guy, checking stock, updating management, asking for vid calls, live holomap breakdowns of what you are doing based on real time photo recognition and not generic steps, ie screws are marked based on remaining holes, not just generic inserts.

The two big uses I've seen have been:

* Assembly lines; workers who have the job of double checking for possible defects. They tend to tag the areas that need additional inspection in a visual overlay.
* Part picking; overlay indicating which bins they need to pull parts from, etc

>literally

way to rewrite history with a shitty picture.

some warehouse companies use this to check inventory
but after the Facebook bashing fiasco with Cambridge Whatever-the-fuck-it-is, more people are aware of their privacy not being as strong.

>install TempleOS on it
it's not x86_64 with UEFI/CSM

yeah man yeah

when was the last time you went outside user

Retard normies who put tape on their webcams but also own 5 Amazon Alexa’s are convinced you are filming them if you wear it.

>in the medical field.

Wot
I guarantee you 99% of the world's hospitals do not give a fuck about this thing

Glassholes

OP here, I think this is the most cited reason. And it looks extremely stupid.

Personally, I just have no use for it. If it could interact with reality, track and tag items, HUD, overlays etc, then it might be compelling, but fuck if I don't give a shit what my email said. I'd rather check and respond to email on my phone. I've sent text responses on smartwatches and it's just stupid when I could just as easily send a much more comprehensive message from my phone. Ask Alexa for the weather? Fuck no! I can type much faster than I can speak (at least at the cadence that it needs to recognize my command) so why would I waste my time trying to pretend this is a useful device?

Places where google glass is banned:
- in the car
- cinemas
- strip clubs
- casinos
- restaurants
- hospitals
- sports grounds, concerts, theatres
- in banks/at ATMs

bump

It does all those things you ask.
Its failure is they tried to Iphone style sales it as that long last scifi tech peice, but didn't have anything near the hype.
Now you have stuff like hololens, Tango, Vuforia and more providing this, too where I have to get shitty polycarb screen reflectors put on my face once a year during an XR expo as people fail to sell me on the fact they made an IOS app and a see through mirror.

People who wear glasses know it's literally voluntarily putting aids on your face. I used to wear glasses too, until I started using contacts, nothing can make me wear glasses anymore. To add insult to injury, jewgle goggles seem to be extremely imbalanced, all the weight is on the right side.

How far away are we from AR headsets that look like regular glasses? Something like hololens that replaces everything.

>this

>wears the shitty glasses
>gets hit by a car cause too busy watching porn
>use it to take pictures and record people
>too scared of governments and big companies spying on you

Most likely because it was shooting a laser directly into your retina. Neat idea, but I can't see this passing any safety regulations.

>making my own glass clone
