Eventually there will be glasses running regular Linux that people can do with as they please. Then the real innovation will happen.

what a strange, creepy future you're looking forward to

    Get your mind out of the gutter!

    Have you ever seen AR glasses demos where someone is inspecting an engine or repairing something? Imagine open source hardware projects being able to offer similar capabilities for any common household appliance. It would be amazing!

    There's infinite amazing and non-creepy uses for tech like this but it'll never happen with unimaginative luddites everywhere!

    ah, so you've seen iron man and therefore are confident someone, somewhere will build holo AR interfaces teaching you to do things on hardware that doesn't exist.

    I've worked in AR. These glasses ain't it, and whatever you're imagining is decades away MAYBE, and more likely vaporware and hopium.

    and you're willing to compromise today's privacy for the vague handwaves of potential technology, running on a supposed open software stack like linux, maybe someday?

    CONSIDER ME NOT EXACTLY INSPIRED

    Your argument boils down to this:

    • This technology exists because you've worked with it.
    • You want to ban it because it could be used by bad people to invade others privacy.
    • The technology doesn't actually exist.

    You're not making any sense.

    The technology does exist and the software to do repair work with AR also exists: https://aidarsolutions.com/maintenance-augmented-reality/ (Just an example, there's more companies that do it)

    People are using AR for equipment repair every day. It would be fucking nice if every day people could take advantage of that using cheap glasses that include a camera and a display of some kind.

    The only reason why there's not open source projects for this is because the hardware is too expensive.
