Dream on. If smart glasses gain a massive amount of users in 2025, I’ll put a sock in my mouth. Still not enough reason to carry around both smart glasses and a smart phone. Smart watches already are there for tech enthusiasts and they can always go with a VR headset to get a hardcore AR experience.
I saw an ad showing how smart glasses help shoot creative videos. The guy wearing them does a slow spin and runs up to a girl who does the influencer “fake awe” thing at the sky. Then another shot he just backs away from her.
The resulting video failed to demonstrate what the glasses could do that a phone couldn’t. It was worse than a phone and the guy looked like an idiot filming it.
For smart glasses to be adopted they really need to be executed perfectly. No one wants to fuss around with anything on their face and directly affecting their vision. I don’t see the hardware and software worked out smoothly enough for this to be popular for at least another three years.
Save a sock for me, I’m on record saying this isn’t happening on any kind of large scale in 2025.
Cost is also a big thing. With tariffs on Chinese tech goods coming into effect and the fact that everything has gone up in price, like necessary things like groceries (plus the very high likelihood of inflation/greedflation continuing to strangle non-rich people), it’s a recipe for people to hang onto their money, not feel safe to spend it.
Unless they say somehow heavily subsidize it with ads and/or some kind of government fund hackery, I think we’re all safe from sock-mouth.
