Could smart glasses become the biggest hardware shift since smartphones?

[JayJ]

Smart glasses feel like they are always one breakthrough away from mattering. If they can show useful information, take calls, translate speech, handle AI prompts and record hands free without looking ridiculous, the category could become huge. The problem is social acceptance. Phones became normal because everyone could see the value. Glasses with cameras and AI assistants might face a much colder reaction

The hardware has to look normal first. Nobody wants to wear a developer kit on their face

Smart glasses will win when they do one or two daily tasks perfectly instead of trying to replace phones

The privacy backlash will be massive if recording is not obvious to people nearby

I can see them becoming huge for work before they become normal for everyday life
