🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻 Where is the promised 30 FPS 1080p realtime vision? Glasses with audio? You’re joking right? What a failure. Where is the actual gemini level intelligence instead of this shallow assistant layer? The assistant has no continuity or memory. It forgets
everything from one moment to the next, and that completely breaks the experience. It’s useless. There should be a toggle 100% memory, or no memory.
How do you release smart glasses without a true persistent visual feed at 30FPS 1080p it should also have meaningful memory? Right now it feels handicapped. Audio only is ridiculous, the assistant itself is weak and useless. Why compete directly with OpenAI on their strongest territory while weakening the areas where Google could actually dominate?rLike realtime multimodal vision, persistent memory, depth and deep context, and continuous assistant presence.
world understanding,.there should absolutely be a memory toggle
Full persistent memory built in, session memory or no memory at all.
Let users choose. Right now the assistant feels basically identical to last last month, Gemini 3.5 Flash? Honestly, maybe slightly worse. It even told me Google I/O was yesterday, when it was literally today, and I had just watched it.This is exactly what many of us warned about, do not build a shallow disposable assistant layer around gemini. Give it memory. Give it realtime 1080p 30 FPS perception. Let it actually understand continuity and context over time.
That is the future people actually want.
Right now, this feels like a downgrade from what could have been, and that genuinely makes me sad.

21:47 – Chromebooks were and still are mostly just what they are a laptop for using Google’s apps like their Chrome browser and its apps but, Googlebooks seem to really just add AI to the Chromebook sales formula, not sure how much schools want more AI considering how the sketchy few students keep using it to cheat and be extra lazy.

Wow, I’m very happy that I don’t need ANY of the new google AI gemini features in my life. That’s probably the best outcome.
Also, Saas is really dead.

The underrated I/O announcement is Gemini Spark — a personal model that fine-tunes on your local context with under 4GB of VRAM, which basically kills the cloud-only narrative for sensitive enterprise workflows.

NO, INMO Air 3 did, the INMO Air 3 glasses ignited the fire to get google off their butts and start innovating again.

Dear oh dear what really lazy video making. You’re chatting about the ‘audio glasses’ yet you’re covering it with the display glasses that Google hardly mentioned. If you guys wanna be taken seriously you really need to up your game
