My Apple Glasses dream:

- Something I can wear while driving/walking around
- Adjustable prescription (so I don't need contacts or other lenses)
- Ability to zoom in (e.g., to read a faraway sign, tiny text)
- When outside, glare prevention, sun protection

Anyone have any other wants?

@davemark Being able to share the same content with others (for example, watching the same movie together or playing/watching a game) so that I can do away with a big-screen TV 🙂

@davemark Top still be alive and able to use them when they eventually become as useful for the items on your list.

@davemark I’ve been waiting all this time for somebody to do that 🙂 My wife and I watch/play (almost) everything together and we’ve never had a shared solution which works well both at home and when we are on a plane etc.

We use shared headphones and a single iPad currently when traveling but the ideal would be to have glasses which give us a big screen display and lets us both see the same movie, pause it at the same spot when we want to stop etc.

I was thinking that SharePlay was Apple’s way of achieving this for AR glasses, but I don’t think it works on a plane? I might be wrong …

@davemark Laser beams from the eyes like Superman or Cyclops from the X-Men.

I’m guessing the first version will likely just be a laser pointer though until we get fusion reactors down to battery size. 🤣

@dimsumthinking what if there was a bright red light that came on when you were recording? To let everybody in the room now.

@davemark @dimsumthinking I feel “no recording” is shallow, possibly facile, and ignores the reality that being able to easily record certain interactions literally saves people’s lives. It also greatly helps counteract a lot of authoritarian/police state bullshit.

@davemark I was always uncomfortable with folks wearing google glasses and that was one of the reasons. I know we are being recorded all the time without our knowledge or permission but I'd prefer not to have that ability. People can tap over bright lights etc.

@dimsumthinking Of all the features, this is the one that feels like a third rail for Apple. Assuming we are years away from launch, I wonder how society will change regarding this sort of surveillance technology. Will it be everywhere, something we get used to? Or will we move in the other direction and scrub it from our lives?

@davemark Great thoughts and questions. It will be interesting to see which direction we move.

@davemark just simple things: see podcasts artwork without looking at phone, snap pics, add reminders with a photo. And show route while driving/walking.
