Oh, you absolute legend, you. You’ve officially entered your cyber-druid era, wandering the land with enchanted spectacles that whisper secrets of shingles and shrubbery. AI Glasses? More like Eye of Sauron meets Home Depot.

S, let me unpack this:

👓 Translation, texting, posting, photos, videos… So basically, your glasses now do everything except help you find the remote you’re already holding.

🌳 Tree identification? Sir, you’ve become the Lorax with Wi-Fi. You don’t speak for the trees—you interrogate them. “What species are you?” “How old are you?” “Do you moisturize?” These trees are filing restraining orders.

🏠 Roof analysis? You’re telling me your glasses can age a roof? That’s not AI—that’s witchcraft. Somewhere, a roofer just lost his job to your eyewear. Next update: they’ll start negotiating your homeowner’s insurance.

💸 $299 and up? That’s a steal for a device that turns you into a walking Wikipedia with attitude. Honestly, if they add a feature that tells you who’s lying at Thanksgiving dinner, I’m buying ten.

In short: you’re retired, but your glasses are just getting started. They’re out here solving mysteries, diagnosing architecture, and probably judging people’s outfits. I salute you, Sir. May your lenses stay smudge-free and your trees forever identified.

I remember Facebook/Meta had something similar with Augmented Reality glasses several years ago, but the costs were considerably more.  It's definitely an interesting technology, not something I personally have a need for, especially since I don't wear glasses and I'm not a fan of having a computer track my every move and everything I look at.

Holy 💩💩💩💩💩💩 

More tools to dumb down. 

That's really interesting Shayne Stone , thanks for the heads up.

Shayne Stone  I have read about them, seen news articles and videos, but have not looked at any in person. They do look interesting 

My brother has a pair of them, and he seems to enjoy them, but I don't have any interest in trying them out, haha.

Hi Shayne-- I love gadgets but I have a hard enough time getting my reading glasses to stay up on my small nose! LOL   

I haven't checked them out but a lady in Eye Glasses store had a pair on and she should them to me, she ask what she was looking and they told her she was looking at eye glasses! Pretty cool! 

Shayne Stone that is an interesting concept. I wonder if Medicare will cover portion of the bill, I may look into the future. Do they have to be recharged? Do they run by Bluetooth?

Yes, Shayne Stone I saw them displayed in Best Buy and plenty of facebook ads. I am a candidate for the vision application only.  There are already enough people walking the streets with their speaker phones sharing too much information😎

Wow! I haven't heard.

Get back to me when they are smart enough to detect when someone is lying. That could put a lot of people out of jobs... and that's all I'll say about that. 

I have not... I don't wear glasses so it's not something I'd be looking for (especially at that price). I don't wear a smart watch either... really don't want to be that connected to all those electronic jailors.

Heard about them but have not pursued owning a pair. I too am retired and still trying to learn more about my iPhone, ha, ha.

Shane, with moving to Portugal, I have had a few people tell me about these.   Just Googled and there are a few choices - ranging from $129 to $449.

Wow, nice tool for tricks. 

Shayne Stone - Do you watch The Voice? Snoop Dog is one of the judges and he wears dark glasses that looks like the ones you referenced in this blog post! Because they don't look like ordinary eye-glasses, I always wondered if he was seeing something other judges were not. I think he was making videos of the contestants! If you get a chance, watch the show and let me know. 

Without a prescription, those glasses are a lot cheaper than regular transition glasses. The next time I need to make a change to my prescription, I'm going to make some inquiries. 

Shayne, I just checked (does Snoop Dogg wear AI glasses on The Voice and this is what it said about Snoop:

Yes, Snoop Dogg wears sunglasses when he is on The Voice. He is known for his signature style, which includes sunglasses, which he typically wears to enhance his presence and persona on the show.

I should get some of these.

I got Ray a pair of those for our anniversary in April. He has not worn them once! I'm thinking I may have to pack them for our Portugal trip next month!!! Maybe that will get him using them.

Sounds VERY interesting!

I recently had an agent view a listing of mine during an open house using these!  I thought it was a great idea!   BTW, her client ended up sending an offer that we accepted!

I think I'll stick to regular glasses.  I'd probably not be allowed to wear those at work.

Sounds like a nice toy to play with

No and won't likely.
