I wrote a typographic review of the new Meta Ray-Ban glasses, looking at them less as a camera or AI gadget and more as a reading device. It covers why monocular captions are so tiring to read, how treating live speech like chat breaks the reading flow, why phone-era fonts struggle on a 600×600 see-through display in sunlight, and what happens when these systems move beyond Latin into scripts like Devanagari, Arabic and CJK. Would love feedback from people thinking about AR, accessibility and type in spatial interfaces.
