I think those kind of glasses may be really useful for blind people. I have seen similar glasses targeted at blind people, that at least in theory, seemed to me like a good idea.

I recall the glasses also can write on the screen inside the lens, which makes me think they may be good for deaf people as well.

It's just that these use-cases seem uncool, and big companies seem to have to be cool in order to keep either their status or their profits. But I have a feeling the technology may be really useful for some really vulnerable people.

Yes, there are people working on image recognition glasses for blind people.

Nobody seems to have been successful yet, and I think the focus on applying LLMs instead of dumb UI and mixed dumb and ML image processing is a large reason why.

Oh I do still enjoy the glasses, they are actually rather incredible, even though they do not have a screen. That said - These actually do have a Be My Eyes integration - It is incredibly impressive.
