Google glass failed for many reasons, but I don’t think privacy was one of them. Price and usefulness were the two big reasons. Tech has advanced a lot in 10 years, so the usefulness and video quality has definitely advanced; but the ratio of price to usefulness is probably not right yet.
I think we’re almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don’t like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.
