Snap’s CEO believes that the past 10 years of AR progress has been slow but things are moving at a rapid pace now. This is due to required technology pieces being more viable now. Prices will probably be high at first but with many companies competing for the space things should quickly settle down into affordable products.
They literally could do everything possible perfectly and they still won’t ‘take off’. It’s not happening. There is no practical everyday use for a wider audience that isn’t done better by another device.
There would have to a some new problem or avenue that develops for AR glasses to ever be anything more than a neat niche product.
It’s not the technology it’s the lack of a reason to use them such that it justified the inconvenience
Exclusive | S̶n̶a̶p̶ C̶E̶O̶ CEO with vested interest in making money off AR glasses b̶e̶l̶i̶e̶v̶e̶s̶ tells compliant media outlet that AR glasses will take off by 2030
There. Fixed it for you.
“We’ve been working on glasses for about 10 years now… “- Snap CEO.
Wouldn’t be much of a CEO if he wasn’t trying to convince investors that the thing the company has spent millions on is worth it.
It’s a cool gadget, but it isn’t a game changer. Much like gen AI and LLMs, the majority of people use them for a little bit and then get bored and move on to something else. It’s just not solving a problem.
Smartphones combined the music player, phone, camera, and computer into one extremely portable device. It solved the problem of not having the space to carry all those things.
It’s still unclear what problem AR glasses solves. Also unclear what problem the AI they’re pushing actually solves aside from providing summaries for people who don’t want to read long messages or the ability to create bland art that people aren’t impressed by because they could easily do the same.
I could see having a pair I put on that like, automatically looks up coupons for stuff I am buying at the grocery store. Other than that I can’t really see using them.
Why is this technology being pushed so hard? They’ve been trying to market this for at least 20 years. We don’t want it.
