This precisely describes why Google Glass failed.

Elaborate?

Doesn’t matter how good the platform was, it wasn’t a socially acceptable product.

I *really* wanted basically "google class without the frigging camera."

Being able to overlay an 80x24 terminal over one of my eyes (and drive it with a bluetooth keyboard or whatever) would've been fantastic for me.

Unfortunately for me, this is enough of an outlier desire that it doesn't seem likely anybody will ever want to sell me that at a price point I can convince myself of.

Having poked around https://evenrealities.com a bit: Yes.

Not sure I can convince myself to spend the money to find out, but they're definitely going in the direction I was thinking of.

Ta.
