I think glasses will be really big both for Meta and the rest of big platers.
The industry is trying to shrink an entire supercomputer, plus camera, display, speaker, and AI assistant — into a pair of glasses that won’t make you look like an off-brand Robocop. We’re not all the way there yet. We’re still constrained by power, compute, cost, size, weight, and battery life.
The comparison is that today’s headsets are the clumsy, archaic brick phone, and the ultimate, seamless smartphone-level goal for the entire category is the lightweight, stylish glasses. The glasses will become a kind of co-pilot for daily life, sitting in the background until you need it, and then showing up exactly when you do.
