I would call them dumb glasses because they are so extremely limited in functionality by the manufacturer to enforce lock in.
Like if you have any interesting idea how you could use smart glasses, I guarantee 99% Meta won't let you do that, unless they implement the app themselves and the only way it would store anything is Instagram.

Is it just me that think AI smart glasses have huge potentials, but all the tech companies just keep on messing it up. Maybe tech is not ready?
