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.
So many good products have been destroyed by the people making them. Especially from Meta. The Facebook Portal was a fantastic product and my family used them heavily during the pandemic despite knowing that they came from Meta. Not only are they invasive, but Meta started removing features from them when they cancelled them. My aunt called me because Zoom no longer works. I had to explain to her that Meta just removed that functionality.
Having a wearable camera with notifications would be pretty cool I guess. I just don’t want them to need a Meta account.
