The 2014 Google Glass debacle stigmatized smart glasses, but the devices may be poised for a comeback. Despite the failure of Google Glass, Meta and Google appear to be all in on the next generation of smart glasses that combine fashion, functionality, and generative AI into a compelling form factor.

I think the main issue with Google Glass was the creepiness factor of the camera. I feel for mainstream adoption, these devices shouldn’t include a camera, at least initially.

However, I personally haven’t heard much negative reaction to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Perhaps because they are so inconspicuous, people don’t realize they have cameras in them?
