If you're selling a physical product, using AI to model your product seems like a really bad idea. You have no idea if the product actually fits on their faces.

Calling it early - this is a scam. There's no way they're going to deliver that product, in that form factor, by Q1 2027.

Agreed and the fanboying here is very out of character for HN, especially for a product that is likely to be delayed, will possibly never ship, will have an insane error rate if it ever ships. The usecases exist but are niche compared to typing when speech isn't an option or speaking when typing isn't convenient.

This is bait, with the goal of one of the smart glasses producers like Meta/Apple buying them out - that is, IF the tech can be improved enough after the pre-order money came in.
