Too many people watching porn while they walked around, causing accidents and making others feel creepy.

It was a failure before the word go. As a person that wears glasses and contacts, they're too cumbersome if you have a choice. I'll choose contacts 9 out of 10 times. Fuck something dicking with my ears and nose that I have to adjust constantly. Watches made sense. Glasses no.
What happened? It was supposed to be 'the future'.

Too creepy at the time. They'll try to reintroduce it when people get even stupider.
As I understood them they had a forward facing camera they could record anything all the time, including while you were in a bathroom, a locker room, your home.
I'd love to have a pair of glasses with a heads up display that gave me a 2K virtual monitor in front of my face. If they were lightweight, I'd dispose of my current monitor and just use that. Been looking for that forever, there's technical limitations on weight and resolution. They'd be perfect while travelling. Not certain if it's possible with current technology, but we're close.

Wouldn't touch it. Long term effects on the eyes would be totally unknown. Besides mobility, eyesight is 2nd in line in my world. Actually they might be equal. I'm already close to getting cheaters in my late 30's and I'd venture to guess screen time has something to do with that. Who knows how glasses that close to the eye could fuck up your vision over years? Actually going to the optometrist next week I believe, might ask him his thoughts on this.

And "self driving cars" or "self driving passenger flying drones."

Both of these are still very realistic. Cars are probably more unrealistic due to stripping on roads. It can't be all reliant on GPS. You need stripping like the bumper rails when bowling. A lot of the roads out by me don't have it, so hard to say how a self driving car would work. I'm not the target market though.
Individual drones are coming. We'll see what the FAA has to say about it, but it's coming. The sensors and programming/planning you can do with even consumer drones is staggering. Weight is obviously an issue and landing multiple drones in one spot in urban environments. The uber wealthy are trying to figure out how to capitalize on it. Is it an airline type setup? Or is it an automotive sales type setup. Basically are us commoners intelligent enough to type in an address. The engineering is there. Infrastructure and strategy is the issue. Musk got his Tesla chargers all over, so it's not impossible.

Looks like there's some other companies launching VR glasses

Really? I've slept in contacts for 2 months straight before. Never took them out. Can't sleep in glasses and you're blind in an immediate emergency. My eyes are getting dry with age though, so it's harder now to sleep in them. 2 weeks is the max. And yes, it's not good for your eyes.
I've got volleyball tonight and now have to attach my nerd straps so they don't fly off as I make up for our other inadequate players diving around. Glasses are so much more expensive up front if you want anything decent, but contacts are recurring cost. I just don't like stuff on my face. All this said, I wear glasses probably 50% of the time vs. contacts. So I do like glasses, I just prefer contacts as I'm pretty active.
I feel the exact opposite. Contacts scratch my eyes..even 'soft' ones.

You wore the same contact lenses for 2 months straight? You're VERY lucky you never got a bacterial infection and went blind. Seriously, you should never do that.
I've never worn contacts, my vision is no longer perfect, but for me I just need reading glasses. In an emergency, I don't think I'll have to read print on a monitor..

It was too hard to wear them with everyone running up to you from every corner screaming YOU CUNT! TAKE THOSE THE FUCK OFF!

Thank goodness it wasn't! Can you imagine everything you see and interact with on a visual level being stored and collated and algorithmized to sell off and/or control you with?
