AR (Augmented Reality) can provide the diffusion of computing power that this age really needs. Instead of staring at TV screens, smartphones or computers. Right now, the only company really paying attention to this is Mark Zuckerberg’s company, Meta. The company that began as Facebook is only just pouring money into hardware as well as AI. While many people are criticizing him, Meta is one of the few companies capable of being able to compete with China in these areas. Many Americans still think of China in the 1970s which it isn’t anymore. Even under Mao, they managed to launch satellites into space and build their own spaceport. America needs companies competitive in many high-tech areas and Meta can be one of those companies which help our nation here.
The Meta Glasses are in continuity with another one of Zuckerberg’s projects, the Occulus Rift, a VR headset which has sold hundreds of thousands across the globe. However, the device is still niche in spite of its success. The main issue is one of style and how it can integrate with people and how they already interact with computers. The issue is to make it fashionable more than just another black slab on the table but something that can wear as jewelry amongst their colleagues.
The secret that we need here is to have technology return to the zeitgeist of the Y2K.
That is an era of style and beauty here.
While some may see it as tacky, Y2K had something unique which our current age is missing, a holistic integration of form and function. In our age now, form has become less important, and it is function which is often more important here.
What we need is style in tech again. Ray-Ban, a popular glasses brand has teamed up with Meta to make a new kind of glasses. These Ray-Ban Meta Glasses are a sign that computing is becoming more than just about keyboards and mice. Mark Zuckerberg has already stated that the glasses have sold some 2 million and this is very impressive for a new device here. Even Amazon is going to be introducing smart glasses for its drivers on the roads. Such devices are going to be integrated into everyday life which is important for the sales to increase. Consumers have to see that this product is practicable not just a hobbyist tool or a niche corporate tool which only affects small sections of an industry.
AI glasses can make the digital age spring out of the screen and onto the streets. That is the great promise of this technology. No longer will we be looking at blue light alone. It will integrate with meat space and revolutionize our lives and state.
