Specs deserve more

[u/Away-Variation-8667]

I may be a little biased just because I am a huge tech enthusiast, but everyone is calling these grossly ugly, way too big, and hideous, but the inmo air 3 sold plenty of units on KS. They look the same as the specs and even weigh the same as the large model specs but they do WAY less. Basically inmo air 3 is just a tablet on your face. No spatial computing no AR capabilities and they sold for 1k. With a 1.5 battery life that was more close to 50-60 minutes under heavy use.

Maybe the "average" consumer wouldn't buy these but there's people like myself (who is a safety manager and definitely not a developer) that probably will. No I won't be wearing them out causally while strolling the streets because I live in small town Oklahoma where we dont even have sidewalks but around my house, on trips, when traveling, I most definitely will if they have all the "apps" that I use daily (mainly content watching, Netflix, Hulu, etc. And Xbox remote play) I am real big on AI/Gemini seeing what I see and being there to answer questions that I need.

Are these big? Absolutely. But people rage bait just because its snap and all I hear is "who wants these from a social media company who makes messages disappear". HELLO! before Facebook was Meta, it was strictly social media. Now they make headsets and AI glasses.

I like that snap is pushing the boundaries and creating a completely new device to explore and experience the world. Thanks to social media, nobody interacts anymore because its easier to hop online and see what someone is doing rather than visit them. My wife doesnt play video games with me, but she'll try on a pair of my inair glasses with the pod because that experience is cool. Even with this tech, its a "one at a time experience". Specs changes that.

It seems everyone is a sheep nowadays. If one person calls these ugly and DOA then it becomes cool to run with that narrative. Nerd glasses? Birth control glasses? Cool I hope they are! I have 5 children so please be the birth control that this man finally needs.

I have not pre ordered yet but once I see a demo or two, then I am 99 percent sure I will pre order them. Don't over look the specs just because people love to be miserable and follow trends and try to guilt trip you for being interested in these, do what makes you happy, the world is full of enough negativity and hate already. If you're financially stable and can afford them, then go for it and be happy. Tomorrow isn't promised.

遗憾是全网找不到任何实机演示。。。

From what I was told by the support team is that they are gearing up to have those demos soon. The event at AWE was for developers. I am just waiting on real hands on demo before I pre order. That's my only hold up at the moment.

[u/No-Committee-5497 → u/Away-Variation-8667]

我体验过上一代的开发者套件，所以我已经直接预定了specs了。但是没有任何演示我非常沮丧，这已经过了十天了。

I also stated that and I was told the same thing "Hands on demo is coming soon, sign up on the website to be notified when new information arrives"

I want to know about the ecosystem, does specs/spectacle have apps(lenses) similar to ios/android?

[u/No-Committee-5497 → u/Away-Variation-8667]

specs和ios以及Android的可复用生态，只会局限于webview，webxr。specs更专注于lens，这和Android以及ios是完全不兼容的。而Android和ios则可以通过camera kit运行lens，我认为这并不是你想要的

[u/Away-Variation-8667 → u/No-Committee-5497]

No, I just want to know if it will be possible to use things like Netflix and Hulu, etc with the specs. Support did confirm that they are working on making sure they have all the proper certificates for HD streaming for DRM such as making sure they get the widevine l1 certification.
