Insights & Future Tech

Sometimes it’s fun to take off the glasses for a second and just look at where this whole industry is heading. This category is where I talk about the “big picture.” We’re living through a huge shift in how we use technology, and the future of smart glasses is at the center of it all. I dive into the stuff that doesn’t fit into a “how-to” guide—things like the privacy implications of walking around with a camera on your face, or how AI is going to change the way we translate languages on the fly. It’s a bit more “think-piece” style, but I try to keep it grounded in what’s actually happening right now.

We also explore the more niche stuff here, like how AR is being used in warehouses or what athletes are doing with head-up displays for their Strava data. If you’ve ever wondered if smart glasses are actually safe for your eyes long-term, or if they’re really going to replace our smartphones one day, those are the kinds of conversations we’re having in this section. It’s for the curious—the people who don’t just want to use the tech, but want to understand how it’s changing the world around us. Plus, it gives me a chance to geek out a little bit about what’s coming next in 2027 and beyond.
