I got a few suggestions:
- Spywear
- Panopticals
- Suckerbucks
- LensCrappers
The thing is, if these things had a reason for existing besides being data-collection apparatuses for big tech, I would love them. Not to wear out and about, but for various tasks where a heads-up display would be useful. Like, imagine working on an Arduino, ESP32, etc project and having the pinout overlaid. Or having them display the readout from a multimeter while you’re doing electrical work.
Here’s hoping the jailbreak scene on these is promising.

Idk but they supremely vaporwave in the precise sense of the genre being about decaying visions of a positive future from a perspective hopelessly hurtling into the past.
Privacy nightmares.
Garbage
Garbâgé
So many good products have been destroyed by the people making them. Especially from Meta. The Facebook Portal was a fantastic product and my family used them heavily during the pandemic despite knowing that they came from Meta. Not only are they invasive, but Meta started removing features from them when they cancelled them. My aunt called me because Zoom no longer works. I had to explain to her that Meta just removed that functionality.
Having a wearable camera with notifications would be pretty cool I guess. I just don’t want them to need a Meta account.
Glassholes
An oldie but a goodie.
this is name for wearer, nor the device
Glassholeglasses then
Creepers.
Dayum. Simpsons really did do everything first.
Aiaiai glasses
+1 for spywear
i do like the idea of smartglasses but most of them are sketchy as hell. even realities seems pretty good given the polish of their features. also panopticals is great.
I’ll vote on ewaste. They’re ewaste.
- Shady shades
- Opulenses
…but I think people found the best already: spywear
Shart Glasses
