The only thing that matters is how easily I can customize what is shown on the screen. Everything else is probably just annoying, like the translation or map feature, which I assume will be finicky and useless. If the ring had four-way arrows and ok/back buttons, and the glasses had a proper SDK for creating basic navigation and retrieval, such as the ability to communicate with HTTP APIs, there would be no limit to the useful things I could create. However, if I'm forced to use built-in applications only, I have very little faith that it would actually be useful, considering how bad the last generation of applications for these devices was.
I assumed that the display is actually watchable, as it seems to be. I have multiple AR and VR glasses, and I have never gotten fed up with them due to an inability to view the content properly. But having to struggle with getting it to show the content I want...
For instance, the teleprompter is terrible and buggy when it tries to follow along based on voice. A simple clicker for moving forward in a text file would be better than how it currently works.
How many people say they lost interest due to ocular issues versus complaints that it’s just not useful?
Seriously. A simple file browser with support for text files only would be more useful than the finicky G1 apps.
Of course visual issues could occur for someone, but it’s so aggravating that the they can’t just put in some sort of customization for content properly
There's a Bluetooth API for the G1 that's been pretty fully reverse engineered. It wouldn't be at all difficult to wrap an http wrapper around it if somebody hasn't already. I suspect you could even vibe code it in a weekend.
