The Meta Ray-Bans have a better path to success than this. (Honestly, if they weren’t tied to Meta, I’d love to get a pair.)

Mike Elgan had a great piece of why this will not take off:

He makes a ton of great points.

A built-in 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera can be used to capture photographs and videos I bet other people won’t like the camera any more than they did with Google Glasses.

Photos can be viewed using the “Center” website on any web browser. Want to see photos? Gotta go to the website. All photos therefore shared. Along with notes, music listened to, reminders … Nuh-uh!

I mean, it’s fun that a techbro thought “isn’t the TNG combadge cool?” and actually went and made it, but this was a Youtube video, not a product launch.

Ai Pin has a “prominent Trust Light” which turns on when the device is in use.

Let’s all place bets: What will be the first mod or patch for this device? 🥷🏽

Nah
