Two types of new AI-driven glasses coming.
The smallest is "information displays." With glanceable elements. Launching next year.
First "audio glasses" coming this fall.
Why no displays? I hear they are still too expensive based on consumer research. And too hard to make really amazing to see the world, which consumers care about the most.
@WarbyParker, and others coming.
Still not the Holodeck devices I keep hoping for. I hear those are still off unless you get an Apple Vision Pro, which is too expensive and too heavy to get most consumers interested in them.
When compared to Meta's Raybans? Google has a lot more data, which leads to much better integration into what consumers care about.
Google has all my:
1. Email.
2. Calendars.
3. Photos and Videos.
4. All my TV viewing data.
5. Location.
6. Sheets, docs, and files.
7. Contacts.
Zuckerberg doesn't have any of that, so I expect Google's audio glasses will be more useful than Meta's.
Will Apple announce its audio glasses at WWDC? Apple has data on me that the others don't have and a more trusted, and cooler, brand.
The stage has now been set.
Assuming Apple is shipping at the end of the year, and Google and Meta are out there, which ones are you most likely to buy?
