Hot Take: Need an option to disable touchpad on glasses
A little background about my history with even realities before I go into it. I've used the G1 starting since 2024. Never actually had a single problem with it. I mainly use it for routing notifications to my face which I think is fugging amazing and light-years ahead of current technology, I could care less about 90% of the other AI crap the glasses provides.
I was super estatic when G2 and R1 got announced, preordered both and got it on launch (relatively, there was issues with shipping and production, not sure if it's still an issue now)
I've used the R1 everyday to control the glasses and I feel like it's a nice evolution to the touchpads, I love this thing. But it starts to get annoying when you fight the glasses for control, let me explain:
Sometimes I walk outside and the sides of my head starts to sweat, the glasses just gets a sentient mind of its own. This is because of the sweat buildup on the side touching the touchpad and the glasses thinks it's me rapidly touching my head like an idiot. At that point I have no choice but to take the glasses off until it calms tf down for a bit. It also happens after a shower and my hair is wet, when I go to a humid area, and sometimes, when I just exist on this planet.
This was surprisingly never a problem on the G1. I don't know what changed on the touchpads but the ones on G2 are useless and terrible because this keeps happening. I thought I was crazy and switched to G1 for a few days. Never happened...
Would it be so hard to have the glasses recognize you are wearing the ring and it is actively being connected to just disabled glasses input...???
Am I crazy or is this happening to anyone else too????
