It is Facebook. Everything in earshot and eyeshot of these glasses will be surveilled.

AR is certainly cool tech. It is just too bad there’s no company doing it that isn’t doing it just to spy on you.

And ads will be plastered over everything in your field of vision. Honestly who would sign up for that?

Plenty of people pay money for smart tvs, Netflix, etc.
Smart TVs really are stupid, but at least netflix ads only show up when you're using netflix. AR glasses would plaster ads all over any show you watch on any platform, as well as on sunsets, walls, family members, etc.
