Unpopular opinion (even wsj wrote this product off [1]) but as a new dad these things have been an absolute game changer.
I continue to play with my toddler at all times but I can also capture critical moments without my kid thinking I’m constantly on my phone.
The grandparents have the footage on loop. This is just a win-win-win all around tbh even without any displays.

PS: added benefit that when I don’t pick up my phone to get to the camera constantly I conveniently miss the attention destroying notifications most times from other Meta products
PPS: Caveat: I live in a sunny location so sunglasses make sense most days.
- kridsdale3 3y agoHonestly this single HN comment may have turned my opinion of the product category around.
- meowtimemania 3y agoYeah this would be a great way to market them!
- Mekulpa 3y agoWearing the same glasses constantly just in case your kid makes a thing? There is a reason why people get lasik. But hey if people start wearing more sunglasses outside good for them it's better for the eyes.
- bsimpson 3y agoThis was what made the original Glass interesting - being able to live your life while also archiving memories for Future You etc. Still, Facebook isn't exactly a company that has earned trust to fill that role.
