In my fantasyland you would pair them with another device, like a phone, and it would do all the work. The glasses would basically be nothing more than a receiver and a display
Yes, well that’s a fantasy when it comes to AR. It’s augmented reality, it needs to see the reality to augment it, else it’s just a static screen in front of your face. It isn’t anything new or interesting if you don’t have the camera in the front.
I meant text translation obviously. You don’t need glasses for audio.
And yeah, smartwatches don’t have cameras. They aren’t doing anything that needs them. AR, by definition, requires it to know about its environment. It needs a camera at minimum. You could have just smart glasses that can display texts or something, but AR needs cameras.
I’d be interested in them for like hud reasons but I wouldn’t want a camera or mic in them which is what they seem to think people want.
Just a wireless HUD, with eye tracking, and agnostic to connected tech. (Camera is needed for this, but needs a manual kill switch on the device)
That is all that is needed from the glasses.
Wearable tech is going to need to be modular, replaceable, and reparable…
All things big tech companies hate right now.
It requires a camera to do any remotely useful HUD stuff. If you want automatic translation, or in-world displays, it needs to see the world.

Smartwatches don’t have cameras for the most part, smartglasses don’t need them either. Also a camera isn’t required for audio translation.

Yeah I don’t want any of that though
A hud would be cool I suppose. You never know when you need to check someone’s power level.
