     @alexhall @technocounselor Kinda sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I can't quite tell if this has its own interface or whether the visual interaction takes place through the phone. If I can interact with them accessibly, I very much want to see what I can do with them. I'm hoping the open-source OS means the live OS is a bit more open to sideloading/tinkering as well. If these are accessible, the worst we can say is that there's potential for blindness apps to come to these glasses without first needing to beg Meta to allow it.
