The biggest addition is the inclusion of proactive AI, which is designed to surface reminders and other useful information based on factors like the weather, your location, calendar items, or, eventually, recent purchase history. That means, for example, that the Qwen AI Glasses S1 might tell you to bring an umbrella before leaving the house if rain is expected, or it might remind you to correct your posture while you’re working.
Alibaba even says that future updates might use information like your recent purchase history to tell you to drink water if you’ve consumed too much caffeine or even assess traffic in real-time to tell you if you should leave from work early to avoid getting stuck.
That's okay, China can keep it.
wireframe glasses are coming back in style
nobody will trust thick frames ever again
Where are the cool features, these are just basic phone functionality...
Some of them are even basic post-it functionality.
Post-its don't make a noise or vibrate to remind me they exist so I can just ignore them
But all of this could just be an app on your phone. Hell you could do much of this with ifttt
Jokes on them, I always leave work early.
Great news! Users can transfer even more of their memory and executive functions to the machine. Dumbing down at breakneck speed!
Camera-goggles should really only be allowed in public for use by the handicapped, and not allowed for use by anyone without a damn good reason. But I could see it being helpful for blind or very visually-impaired folks with the right applications
Also : these (valid) authorized applications should be completely offline solutions. Because privacy, and because you don't want your aid failing at random times because it's relying on some corporate server and network.
Can't wait to hear why these are illegal and Meta's aren't.
Well you see one is made in China by commies. And the other one is made in china by commies, by contracted by some of our guys
All of these should be banned
The killer feature is the lack of connection to Meta.
Instead it connects to Beijing. Different label, same dystopian shit.
No, see, it's okay to be a capitalist empire if you put "communist" in your country's name!
At least Beijing is competent
Competent capitalism is worse tho?
Meta 🤣😂
If you wear smart glasses in front of me, you might as well have a fly on your face and hand me a flyswatter of solid steel.
Honestly to me I'd actually want, smart glasses in a form where I can actually control every bit of the data etc.. (though I can also see the problem of others having it.
Same vein that I like having security cameras around my yard, that I can access from anywhere. BUT big caveat.. I don't use any of their built in networking, actually my router only gives them local internet access just in case the camera manufacturers did something shady, they only connect to my frigate system.
Something like glasses and AI I pretty much feel the same way. Something like glasses that record, and an AI that indexes all the information, alllows me to go to a computer and say "did john smith ever tell me his birthday". and be able to discover that even for in person conversations would be an insane QOL tool. But only even remotely worth considering if that data isn't going to every other company.
Lotta shit they MIGHT do … but what do they DO?
