I think technology problem has been solved, mostly. Google glass came out what? 10 years ago? Remember the "Glass Holes?"

The problem is society. I personally don't want to hang out with anyone who has a camera always on, possibly recording everything I say.




I agree, but this is literally the world we already live in. On my coffee break walk I past 12 Amazon-owned front door cameras alone. I know there are pictures of me on Facebook , even though I’ve never had an account there…

I don’t disagree at all with your privacy concerns - but I disagree that it will be a problem. I think the population of people that care about not being on other people’s cameras enough to complain and make those people stop using their camera-laden devices is very, very small.


Google glass was far from solving the technology. Not anymore than saying Nokia had solved mobile phones with the 3310. Both were fantastic devices but so far from what is available now.

there are so many other issues like reliable object detection, slam quality, waveguide or display optics, rendering quality, battery life, latency etc…


that plus I just prefer reality? 2d video + a shared white board is great for 99% of everything I need for remote stuff. I have enjoyed a few video games with a headset but outside of that I don't want to wear one 8 hours a day (or longer?), even if it's glasses. I have a feeling that I'm not alone with this in discussions I've had with friends and coworkers about metaverse and other versions of it.


What share whiteboard app are you using? Or do your literally mean a shared whiteboard?
