Maybe they're running the leanest of lean operations, but given the challenge of actually making hardware, I'm not certain anyone will see a working version of this until the second Hololens is out.
- grok2 11y agoThey have Steve Mann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann) -- the original "Google-kinda-glasses" guy -- as a "Chief Scientist"...
- gene-h 11y agoSo will we finally get the eyetap?
- bpicolo 11y agoTo be fair, Steve Mann on board is a pretty big deal
- bravo22 11y agoI've met Steve and worked on a project he was involved with. I'm curious why you think it is a pretty big deal that he is involved?
- bpicolo 11y agoFrom my understanding, he's a long-term supporter and researcher in the field, no? Seems he's been using AR daily for a long time now.
- bravo22 11y agoHe definitely is. However, I wouldn't consider it a plus or a minus. It is in my view neutral. His research doesn't involve the specific problems that Meta would need to solve nor is he a product design expert. I'm not knocking the guy. I just don't see his involvement as adding much to the project beyond the name recognition.
