I wonder if this will be like the iPhone that starts off with amazing tech but expensive and limited, then quickly becomes ubiquitous. Or if it be like 3D TV that everyone thinks they want but ends up a fad with all the tech in drawers collecting dust.
I guess we'll know in a year or two.
I hate coming off as a hater, but I still just don't see how this becomes useful enough to warrant everyone having one. With the iPhone, it turned out that having a device that was always connected to the internet in a comparable way to a computer was something that everyone wanted. And it's a phone, which is easy to put away and be minimally intrusive if you want.
I really struggle to see what unasked need this tech addresses. The idea of AR glasses is very intriguing, but this is way far from that. I remember being excited for Google Glass but that was shelved for whatever reason.
To be fair, I also questioned why anyone would want an expensive tablet or smart watch, and I now have been using both an iPad and Apple Watch for years. So maybe I am not a good judge of what tech is revolutionary haha
