Google Glass didn’t need to put nearly as much tech and power into their glasses as Snap has here. This is a full standalone headset with actual AR capabilities. It isn’t just some shitty HUD and a camera.
As with all tech, the early iterations have to make tons of compromises. Different companies are trying different things. These already look miles better than the earlier dev kits that they released.
I don’t think that Snap is expecting normal people to buy and actually wear these around in their day to day. They’re still very much a niche tech item that has some potential in specific applications, but it’s actually a pretty neat piece of tech. I think people making fun of how they look are missing the point (and they were never Snap’s audience to begin with).
That’s totally reasonable I only brought up Google Glass because it was famously ridiculed (“Glassholes”) and yet still more fashionable even today than these things.
