Turn by turn navigation that shows you the path to follow in AR that's overlaid on the real road. No more missing your exit, no more not being exactly sure which turn it wants you to take, etc.
Would that appease you?

Sounds like a lack of imagination.
Construction - Show size/length of objects, show if object is level, highlight location of needed tool.
Navigation - Show arrow on top of uber/lyft, show directions. Show restaurant cleanliness score and rating.
Food safety - Show how long food has been out of fridge
Social - remind you of a persons name

> Social - remind you of a persons name
There was an MIT startup years ago, based on the observation that for some (impaired?) population, when glasses flashed a name, if it was correct, name recall improved, but if it was wrong, there was no negative impact. So low-accuracy recognition was ok.

Do you understand why anyone would use existing Snapchat filters? If not, then of course you wouldn’t understand the Spectacles.
