Whenever I write about Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, I already know the comments I’m going to get. Smart glasses evangelists often tell me this fear is somewhat overblown. Smart glasses makers have yet to solve the glasshole conundrum that ultimately doomed the original Google Glass. Meta may have kicked off a new era of smart glasses, and it’s done many things right. All it takes is destroyed public trust for smart glasses to once again return to the realm of science fiction.
