Smart glasses aren't well-liked by the mainstream population. The term "glasshole" exists for a reason.
- infecto 4mo agoNever have even heard of the word before.
- swiftcoder 4mo agoThe term is nearly old enough to have a driving license - google glass came out 14 years ago
- infecto 4mo agoAhh maybe that’s it. Old slang that’s not used often enough these days.
- swiftcoder 4mo agoGood luck reading an article about Meta Raybans without running into the term. That said, the whole smartglasses thing seems to be pretty dead as a concept - at least in part because public opinion is not on the side of folks wandering around with stealthy cameras on their faces
- infecto 4mo agoI have actually looked into meta glasses a number of times. Never saw the term. Learn something new everyday thanks for sharing this old term with the group!
- sigzero 4mo agoThen you haven't been paying attention.
- infecto 4mo agoMaybe you are in bubble? Looks like it’s really old slang and I have not heard that word in the last decade in Silicon Valley or elsewhere.
- iamnothere 4mo agoIt was never common slang. A few journalists tried to force it to be “a thing” but it never caught on, because forced memes never work. (I do hate camera glasses though.)
- layer8 4mo agoIt has had a revival with the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. I don't know about Silicon Valley, but you frequently see it in tech-oriented forums when the topic comes up.
- sleepybrett 4mo agoSmart glasses WITH cameras and microphones aren't well liked by the mainstream population. What if the glasses are display only and paired to an iphone for most of it's 'senses'?
