> What is _your_ default assumption re: use case? I honestly can't think of any use cases (outside of very niche a11y uses) that are not in some way offensive, though perhaps not 'perverted'. Hmm, here's a few that could potentially be implemented in augmented glasses, though I have no idea if they're implemented yet: - Giving me directions via an overlay when I'm walking around without requiring me to pull out my phone - overlay of a recipe when I'm cooking something new - pointing out constellations in the night sky - reminding me of people's names and/or upcoming plans with them - price comparisons in grocery stores; the glasses read the prices and tell you how they compare to prices in other nearby stores - (at the gym) correcting someone's form on weightlifting, with visual overlays - taking pictures in general - easy recording of ICE or police

> overlay of a recipe when I'm cooking something new I dont understand how this one comes up thay often. It just sounds like the most useless thing ever. These literally make me suspect I am only one who cooks here while others kind of imagine what it might be like or something. > price comparisons in grocery stores; the glasses read the prices and tell you how they compare to prices in other nearby stores Like you are going to another store for milk and to yet another for butter? Are you already doing that with phone and need to take it out is what prevents it?

  > I dont understand how this one comes up thay often. It just sounds like the most useless thing ever. These literally make me suspect I am only one who cooks here while others kind of imagine what it might be like or something. I cook all the time. I usually use my ipad for new recipes online, but it's a bit old and slow and I don't like having to scroll, and I wish there were better ways to record notes on the recipes. > Like you are going to another store for milk and to yet another for butter? I'll go to another store for milk and butter next time, if it's cheaper. > Are you already doing that with phone and need to take it out is what prevents it? No, I want another app to already to the price comparisons for me. But yeah, this is probably the weakest of the ideas. I'm not writing a doctoral dissertation here; I'm just running with some things I'd want to try out. It's off the cuff.
