Part 8/13:
Many live demos experienced hiccups—camera calls that failed, subtitles that lagged, or voice commands that didn't register. Critics argue this underscores the device’s infancy, questioning whether this hardware is ready for mass adoption or merely a prototype at this stage.
Pragmatic Concerns
Software Ecosystem: The device relies heavily on Meta’s existing platforms like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. For users outside Meta's ecosystem, utility diminishes significantly.
Societal and Practical Limitations: The use of glasses in public raises privacy concerns, especially around live recording and passive data collection. Moreover, the device’s intrusive appearance and eye contact disruption may hinder social acceptance.
