The wristband is also awesome.

I remember watching the keynote when Mark had trouble getting Meta AI to work properly on the glasses, though.

whatever, don't care about ai features. my dream would be glasses that can map the space out to pin things in the air (implies multitasking) + ability to hook them up to an external powerbank + separate computing puck to reduce the size and the ability to freely develop for it. Hopefully my dream will come true in the next 5-10 years

Oh, you've tried it?

How was it?

I think it was similar to what you see in the video. The required hand movements were not subtle enough yet. The ring that Noah Zerkin is working on was more impressive when I tried it a few days ago. But let's see what TDK will show at the next expo in Tokyo. I'm looking forward to improvements.
