I can't think of a single feature here that wouldn't be better using existing technology on cellphones.

Having these things always in your line of vision and no real input options sounds awful.

It would be rather awkward to take out your phone and take a picture of someone.


You got me, but that's just one lone feature to build a platform around... and the technology isn't there yet.


The input consists of voice commands and a trackpad on the side of the frame. It's not like you can't turn off the screen.


Voice input just isn't ready. Commands, yes. Anything longer than a short sentence and it's unusable.

That means this will forever be a Second device, either separate or connected to your smartphone.

Working speech recognition would be a major revolution, so would useful Augmented Reality, and so would combining them in a lightweight wearable mobile device... but none of these exist. Big jumps in technology don't happen like that, and certainly not all at once at one company.
