As with the Apple ads, I remain unconvinced these are benefits. Translation, yes, but your last two examples feel oddly isolating and dehumanizing. Like, estimating the number of people in a line is a trivial task, and something fun to discuss and argue about with your friends! If your friend had the glasses to, do you think it would have come up in conversation at all or would they just ask theirs?
I dunno, I'm picturing a future with everyone standing around absorbed in their own devices (not too different from today) but where we struggle to ask each other normal questions due to offloading our collective intelligence and social skills to the cloud. Destined to become Daphne totally reliant on glasses to interact with the world around us.
I'm probably overly dramatic here. You're out having fun at a park with friends! I'm just trying to imagine how future generations will interact with this tech, particularly the youth who won't know a world without.
It enhanced my conversation as when both people do not know something you are looking at and or discussing you can now find the answer quickly via glasses on your face.
We all use Google to find knowledge/answers but most are not pulling out our phones during conversations cause that's rude. Yet it's not rude to get the answer from your glasses you are wearing on your face and still present in the conversation your having as well people will think wow that's cool (per my experience).
Yeah I don't think you're still present in the conversation while taking a photo and listening to or reading an explanation of what you're looking at. You might think it's less interruptive than pulling out a phone, but your attention is on the smart glasses. People think they can multi task too. I can see when someone just zones out during a conversation and they don't even realize it. I'm gonna be annoyed when I see you looking at the shit coming out of your glasses.
