I still think there's a lot of potential to Spectacles. It seems like they fell to the wayside with all the distraction from the IPO, but I hope it's something they focus in on going forward. I think making it socially acceptable to wear a camera on your face is a problem that very few companies can pull off. I hope their tumbling share price lights a fire under their ass and forces them to take the risk necessary to pull this ace out of their hat.

Why in the world would you want to make it socially acceptable to wear a camera on your face?
For AR to ever take off it needs to be ok to wear a camera on your face. I just happen to think the AR space is brimming with potential.
AR doesn't need the capability of taking pictures or videos, it needs the camera functionality for SLAM.
Because companies that sell advertising, like Snapchat, would love to have all their users stream everything they see.
