I grew up on the internet, I know what the CD-i is. Smart glasses are cool. For $800, I'd get one tomorrow if someone had a reproducible jailbreak. I own an Oculus Quest that was worth every dime.

Too often HN threads devolve into the same tired comparisons about laserdisks and Palm Pilots. The only precedent we have for a product like this failing is Vision Pro, and this is nothing like that. Your comment was jumping to a conclusion that I think many would disagree with.

Even if it doesn't get a jailbreak it will still be a gamechanger. It's far more of an open platform than iOS ever was. Sideloading Android apps on the Meta Quest doesn't require any hax, I imagine it will be the same on the Meta Display. An SSH client on this thing will be a huge boost in productivity for me. Can just randomly sit on a park bench and write some code w/ my pocket bluetooth keyboard. This will reduce 90% of my need to bring my laptop out of the house.
