Hey everyone!

If you walk into any regular optical shop, you'll find a huge spectrum of colors: red, blue, green, yellow, white, translucent tints, purple... there’s a color for every style and personality.

Then you look at the smart glasses market, and it looks like a funeral: 99% matte black or glossy black.

I get that black hides sensors, disguises cameras, and serves as a safe neutral color. But glasses are face accessories, and a lot of people simply don't like wearing black or just want a pop of color in their daily setup. It feels like tech companies assume everyone wants to walk around looking identical.

If the market actually offered a genuine variety of real colors, what would be your go-to choice for a gadget like this?

I've been thinking a lot about where this category is going, and I'd love to hear from people who actually wear or follow smart glasses.

1. What's missing from current smart glasses?

Every product launch leads with the same things AI assistants, cameras, translation, notifications. But are these really what's missing? Or is something else broken that nobody's fixing?

2. Function vs form: what wins for you?

Be honest. Would you sacrifice features for glasses that actually look good and come in colors that aren't black or tortoise? Or are features non-negotiable, even if it means wearing something that screams "tech gadget"?

I keep noticing the entire industry Meta, Even, Rokid, Brilliant, Halliday, Snap, Mira defaults to the same minimalist black aesthetic. Glasses are eyewear. Eyewear is identity. Why does smart eyewear forget that?

3. Are smart glasses the next personal computer?

Phones didn't replace PCs but everyone has one now. Is that what's coming for glasses? A new personal device that doesn't replace the phone, but ends up on every face?

Or are smart glasses going to stay a niche accessory like smartwatches useful but never essential?

Genuinely curious. Not trying to sell anything. Just trying to understand what people actually think
