| I am getting Phillips CDI vibes. It takes me back to a mid 90s infomercial where products will built by marketing departments and companies with cash to splash. There is just no bottom up cool factor. At all. reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhZdWvnF3do |

The glasses seem pointless to me for now. I’m surprised he didn’t add a booty zoom in view. We thought of that idea way back in middle school. Seems like something he’d vibe with. | |

| ▲ | bigyabai 5 days ago | parent [-] | | I grew up on the internet, I know what the CD-i is. Smart glasses are cool. For $800, I'd get one tomorrow if someone had a reproducible jailbreak. I own an Oculus Quest that was worth every dime. Too often HN threads devolve into the same tired comparisons about laserdisks and Palm Pilots. The only precedent we have for a product like this failing is Vision Pro, and this is nothing like that. Your comment was jumping to a conclusion that I think many would disagree with. | | |

Sideloading Android apps on the Meta Quest doesn't require any hax, I imagine it will be the same on the Meta Display. An SSH client on this thing will be a huge boost in productivity for me. Can just randomly sit on a park bench and write some code w/ my pocket bluetooth keyboard. This will reduce 90% of my need to bring my laptop out of the house. |
