Yann LeCun , Chief AI Scientist at Meta, says in 10 years we won't have smartphones anymore. We will have augmented reality glasses and bracelets to interact with our intelligent assistants. I think LeCun's prediction align with the growing trend towards wearable technology and augmented reality. Smart glasses and bracelets could revolutionize how we interact with #AI, offering a better and immersive experience. Have you seen the Ray-Ban/Meta glasses yet? This shift could redefine personal computing, integrating AI into our daily lives in a more intuitive way. It's a vision that's both exciting and challenging, requiring advancements in AI, hardware, and user experience design. What do you think, are we getting rid of smartphones any time soon?
These ideas, although innovative and groundbreaking, feed ignorance and laziness. Why LEARNING a language if my glasses can translate for me? Why LEARNING how to read a map and understand the geography of place visited if my glasses are guiding me? Why LEARNING about uses, costumes and culture if my glasses have all the answers?
As an eyeglass wearer I'd rather have a smartphone than glasses. All the things described either exist or are incremental innovations. I hope that today we have no idea how things will look like in 10-15 years, or marketing and shareholder value will have restricted technology once again.
The question is: are they going to make it enough desirable for the consumer? The name of the game is not the technology by itself but to make sure we consume always more... even if the end of the story can only be a dead end.
I do not really agree with it. Convincing people to wear glasses and use them instead of mobile phones. Mobile phones stay in your pocket and can only be used when you need them, imagine keeping these glasses on 24/7. Sounds exhausting
I agree. This is my idea evolution of Parlito. First an app then more a wearable 😉
I'm not so sure. Its hard to beat a thumb and its nicer to have the system in the pocket rather than on the body. People are lazy but like to feel like they are driving.
Why would a translation be displayed in glasses if it could just be sent to earphones?
I've seen the ugly Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
It will be feasible. It doesn't mean it will be adopted! Don't forget who is behind Rayban smart glasses. Do you think he can say anything else? Predicting adoption is harder than tech maturity

2moIn 2013 I was wearing Google glass on the subway and people were pointing saying the cell phone is out in 10 years too. I've heard this all before. The phone is super optimized and to be frank an ideal form factor for many tasks, even if you want to consider all fancy advancements like EMG. I think to say in 10 years smartphones are gone is flat out wrong. And I don't even think they will be supplanted in 20.
