No one knows what to call these things

AI glasses? Wired XR glasses? AR glasses?

I got a few suggestions:

  • Spywear
  • Panopticals
  • Suckerbucks
  • LensCrappers

The thing is, if these things had a reason for existing besides being data-collection apparatuses for big tech, I would love them. Not to wear out and about, but for various tasks where a heads-up display would be useful. Like, imagine working on an Arduino, ESP32, etc project and having the pinout overlaid. Or having them display the readout from a multimeter while you’re doing electrical work.

Here’s hoping the jailbreak scene on these is promising.

    Idk but they supremely vaporwave in the precise sense of the genre being about decaying visions of a positive future from a perspective hopelessly hurtling into the past.
