For those who are interested, excited to let y'all know that I just got the Rayban Meta display glasses, ristband and everything! Have just got it; yet to start testing.
I get that people are excited for this. But there’s nothing worthwhile in these devices quite yet. They are rudimentary. They are meant to get people interested not to actually be used as daily drivers. Take your time. The technology needs to grow up a little bit before it’s useful to the blind community. Another year or two.
I Have no interest in these things. And i think they are unworthy of us. Maybe a good demo to see what might be possible. But nothing we can rely on. We deserve better. And we are going to get much better. Just have fun, and wait a couple of years. What is coming will knock your socks off. You don’t need me to like something. If you are hell bent on liking something, then go enjoy it. I gave an opinion. It doesn’t devalue your thoughts, experiences, hopes.
I did say in the OP "For those who are interested." so sensible folks would just keep quite if they have no interest. My only request is that the moderators should make sure that there's a free and open environment here to post stuff unless the post is expressly against the guidelines of the website. It should not be that I have to think 15 times before posting here something interesting, if one person would make the whole stuff a mess and that I'd then have to defend myself over something which is entirely pointless. And that's what's happening here. I'm being honest here. I don't feel very confident about posting/commenting here these days because the impression is simply that it's targetted. I mean, unless that open environment is there, I, and many others like me, will just choose not to post stuff, and go on with our lives. noone does these things because it's an obligation; we do it because we want the community to benefit and because we like having a constructive discussion. If this kind of environment persists, the ultimate losers will be the community. And yes, if what I say is off the guidelines, the mods can takedown the post. No issues.

It’s the future, but not there yet
