The main reason I’d consider this technology would be to use facial recognition and popup text so I could pretend to remember the names of people I’ve met.

That would be good.
Real time closed captioning of conversations could be good too.

For that reason I’m grateful that I ended up working for a company where everyone is required to wear name tags, from custodial staff right up to the CEO.
Instead of going with this dystopian Black Mirror tech, why not go with a more reasonable dystopia where everyone is simply legally required to wear name tags at all times whenever venturing out in public?

Want… really.
I think AR is one of the most interesting developments.
I want captions on everything.
All of us live with captions on the things in which we are most interested.
I want more.
I like birds but I don’t know all of our local ones or their habits.
I want to.
Oh plus…
…dank memes.
