Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'smart glasses'

Smart glasses are wearable computer devices featuring a heads-up display, camera, and often voice control capabilities that overlay digital information onto the user's field of vision. First gaining public attention with Google Glass in 2013, these devices represent the convergence of mobile computing, augmented reality, and wearable technology. In alternate history scenarios, smart glasses often appear earlier in technological timelines, potentially transforming surveillance capabilities, information access, and human-computer interaction in different sociopolitical contexts.
