I feel like this would be sold as more of an app for a smart glasses platform than an individual product.
>I've never come upon a compelling personal use case for smart glasses
There are tonnes, it's just the technology isn't there yet; glasses are too bulky and heavy, the fov sucks, the resolution sucks, light transmittance sucks.
But the use cases are incredibly plentiful; stuff like this (music sheets, documentation, web browsing), getting realtime directions with a blue line or directional hints when walking around an unfamiliar place, overlays/information at tourist sites, home automation/controlling devices.
I remember an old anime or some show where it's a world where a digital world is overlaid the real world where AIs and devices from the digital layer can be interacted with in a similar way...what was it hmmm.
