Yo fam, spent the weekend testing these beta AR contact lenses… :exploding_head::robot: Talk about seeing digital overlays on EVERYTHING! From weather updates on my kitchen wall to Pokémon chilling in my backyard. Anyone else in on this madness?

Saw a demo vid of those. How’s the battery life on those tiny things? :battery: I mean, are we talking hours or like, a whole day?

Not bad, fam. Got about 8 hours before they needed a charge. Had to squint my way through a couple of hours post that, not gonna lie. :joy:

Man, sounds cool but also freaky. Privacy concerns much? Like, who’s watching what you watch? :flushed_face::eyes:

Y’all, imagine taking online classes through those. Could have notes and lectures pop up right on your retina. :books::light_bulb:

AR contacts in class? More like Cheat Code 101. :nerd_face::victory_hand:

Haha, totally. The potential is wild. But yeah, privacy stuff is real. They’re working on encryption tho. :thinking::locked_with_key:

Imagine using these for dating apps. You’d see someone’s top Spotify songs like a badge on their head. :headphone::heart_with_arrow:

Or AR fashion shows! See new fits on virtual models right on the runway. :woman_dancing::smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Bruh, how’s the comfort level? I can’t even keep normal contacts in for more than 6 hours. :weary_face:

Surprisingly comfy! They’re not as thick as I expected. A bit of a weird feeling at first tho. :face_with_raised_eyebrow::eye:

Hope they’re eco-friendly! All this tech is awesome but let’s keep Mother Earth in the game, peeps. :globe_showing_europe_africa::green_heart:

Imagine AR horror games… IRL jump scares? Nahhhh, I’m out. :ghost::man_gesturing_no:

adrenaline_junkie101

LMAO, I tried one. Heart nearly jumped out my chest when a zombie popped up next to me. :skull::joy:

15

social_justice_warrior

Could be a game-changer for accessibility tho. Instant translations, object identification for visually impaired folks… :raising_hands:

16

popculture_guru

Do they have a ‘meme on demand’ feature? Because that’s a necessity. :joy::fire:

17

TBH, still waiting for the day when this tech is affordable for the average Joe. :money_with_wings:

Patience, young padawan. Tech like this trickles down eventually. Remember when smartphones were a luxury? :mobile_phone:
