I think those kind of glasses may be really useful for blind people. I have seen similar glasses targeted at blind people, that at least in theory, seemed to me like a good idea.
I recall the glasses also can write on the screen inside the lens, which makes me think they may be good for deaf people as well.
It's just that these use-cases seem uncool, and big companies seem to have to be cool in order to keep either their status or their profits. But I have a feeling the technology may be really useful for some really vulnerable people.
- marcosdumay 1y agoYes, there are people working on image recognition glasses for blind people. Nobody seems to have been successful yet, and I think the focus on applying LLMs instead of dumb UI and mixed dumb and ML image processing is a large reason why.
- agloe_dreams 1y agoOh I do still enjoy the glasses, they are actually rather incredible, even though they do not have a screen. That said - These actually do have a Be My Eyes integration - It is incredibly impressive.
