I don't buy it, but I liked the idea someone else mentioned that the prototype were the glasses Ive was wearing in the hero shot of their wedding announcement, and could infer intent from subvocal recognition and refer instruction via bone conduction.
- danpalmer 1y agoThis is practically just fanfiction though. The glasses obviously don't contain any compute - Ive is great at industrial design but not electronics – and subvocal mics can't work unless you attach them to your throat, otherwise there's nothing to pick up. It's a neat idea in the same way that I think teleportation would be better than cars, I wonder why we aren't doing that instead. But also, you don't go to all the effort of preparing glasses that are 10 years ahead of the industry and wearing them in a video... only to not have a big reveal. There has to be a pay off to the marketing, and saying "one more thing, we were wearing these last year" in their product announcement doesn't get them anything.

- prawn 1y agoYeah, like I said, I don't buy it, just the concept that it was hidden in plain sight was a fun idea. Otherwise it's an even weirder photo...
