So who has tried smart glasses? I've got a weird use case. Maybe not so weird for HN, but probably not the target audience.

I have all my stuff in a terminal window, with tabs for each server I'm connected to. I have tmux on each of them, with neovim, lazygit, and a bash shell. How would I use this with smart glasses? The idea is mainly to give me a bit of a change of scenery during the day. I'm not quite fathoming how I would input anything while walking around with smart glasses.



That's more AR, there's the Apple Vision that has an in-the-air keyboard, but you'd look kinda strange. Others have used chorded keyboards, which is a bit more discrete. I personally wouldn't for work purposes though. Are you thinking sitting somewhere to work, or working while walking? I couldn't do the latter.


Just walking around the garden, sitting in some corner. That kind of thing. Apple Vision seems a bit large for that.

That's what Meta is using/developing the electromyographic wristband for, and a major usecase for Neuralink-type tech as well, but for now there just doesn't seem to be a real useable solution.
