6 months till death, max. Perhaps they have a couple interesting patents, but the core product is a “not worth it at any price” proposition.

Even if they gave these away, who would want them?

Probably the museum of failed products

It’ll look good next to the Sony Betamax and Google glass

As an early user of Google Glass, I can state that it was NOT a failed product in terms of functionality. It made excellent quality videos (in 2013) and featured WYSIWYG framing of whatever you were recording, unlike both Meta Stories glasses and Vision Pro in 2024, both of which produce content whose exact frame boundaries are unknowable while recording.

Here is a video I shot in 2013 with Glass:

It still costs more than I'd pay for one. To be honest, while a clever(ish) piece of tech, I've never really seen a good use case for devices like the AI Pin.

Isn't it just a button, a mic and a wifi/Bluetooth transmitter?

Also a really crappy projector

If we could give our product away, a ton of people would want it. Oh, and it would save the world. Oh, and in ten years we'd make a trillion dollars.

Know any intellectually honest investors you could show this to? www.molecularReality.com

Oh, and you should order one. But also, help us get the seed round so we can just give them away to the thousands of people who want to use them.

Reminds me of this IR spectrometer that started as a $400 Kickstarter project:

and became a successful product (for industry, not so much for consumers though it was initially sold to consumers for drug identification and testing food freshness.)
