Today a disturbing rumor has surfaced - disturbing for those who hold the belief described above, that is.

After many years of pushing by the tech industry, smart glasses (and various other forms of techy headgear) are starting to catch on.

Oppo has just announced a pair of smart glasses at Mobile World Congress 2024 called the Air Glass 3, and they’re surprisingly inconspicuous for something that you wear on your face that also happens to be connected to the internet. Remember smart glasses like Google Glass? Fitted with a camera and driven by the power of your smartphone’s internet connection? Well, these aren’t those.
