Comment on Meta (YC S13), The Crazy AR Glasses That Aim To Do What Google Glass Can’t

Comments

The concept video looks awesome. A few weeks ago I went hiking and thought to myself "wouldn't it be great if Google Glass had an app that showed me information about the flora and fauna I'm seeing? Oh wait, it can't yet." It looks like Meta might be able to.

When looking at new technologies there are always two questions: is it worth doing and can it be done. The answer to the former is obvious here. I don't know nearly enough about the state of hardware to make a call about the latter, but kudos to the team for unabashedly attacking such a huge problem and trying to make the future happen faster.

    seeing? Oh wait, it can't yet
I think Glass could do this, but not as an overlay.
