    The keynote was to feature the Ray-Ban Meta Display, the latest version of what is essentially a face-mounted iPhone – ideal for the consumer who lacks the energy to pull a device from their pocket and idolizes both Buddy Holly and the Terminator.

    What does Terminator have to do with any of this? Did they add the reference because Schwarzenegger wears sunglasses in the movies?

        Ah, yeah forgot about that one.

        That wasn’t the glasses though, it was his eyes/cameras.

        But makes sense.

          I just use regular glasses to tell me what’s going on in the world. Works great.

            Have you tried the ones that focus certain wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum onto your retina where they can be converted to electric signals powered primarily by the krebs cycle (it’s complicated but no batteries necessary) and transmitted to the occipital cortex?

        Since his HUD was internal it isn’t a good comparison.

        They Live had sunglasses with a ‘heads up’ display.
