Amazon-Backed Smart Glasses For $1,000: First Look

These are something I’ve wished existed for a long time, and I think smart glasses have a huge potential to become a worldwide phenomena.

However, getting past the filter of the post-hype cliff and into mainstream adoption is going to be incredibly difficult with only two locations available.

I think the company would need to partner with local eyeglasses or technology storefronts to open that mass adoption door a lot wider.

Another option may be to use current advances in Augmented Reality developer toolkits to make an “app” to perform the 3D facial scanning needed for the custom fit. This leaves only the lens prescription information being required for those who require it.

Point being, I would buy these in a heartbeat, but not if I have to drive to New York City to do so, and I think there’s a lot of people who feel the same way.

The hud display is cool in all, but wake me when they have digital zoom so I can get more of a "glasses" use out of them
