Yet another nice piece of hardware hampered by attempting to lock people into a proprietary ecosystem. (And an AI-centric one at that.)
I would love to have a set of AR glasses. I would love to have a wide variety of features that they could enable. I'd like them to be at least as open as an Android phone is, or as open as a 2D monitor is.
Standard ports / standard wireless interfaces. Install your own software, not from an app store. Ability to use with any ecosystem.
I've been wanting this for a long time now, but really just for cycling. It would be incredibly handy to have some AR glasses connected to Google Maps, showing a moving map in my field of view as I'm biking through the city and telling me where to turn. Even if it's really nothing more than a separate screen (sort of like Android Auto) for my phone, that's all I need for this. If I need to interact with the UI, I can pull over and get out my phone; I just want the glasses so I can see the moving map (along with changes when I take a different turn than prescribed).
I wish I was surprised that you're getting downvoted for, quite literally, asking for open standards in new tech. I would have thought HACKER news would be more receptive when, on the first page, there are stories about having trouble getting young people to maintain open source projects and linux distros.
