As a person who wears glasses, I’m kind of fixating on the sharp edge, and hoping there is something to protect the model’s nose!

Jewelry that limits your field of vision is a great way of signalling wealth: I don’t need to do any work, and I can afford being constantly distracted. That is probably the original function of fashion.

So do those cybershades allow you to navigate cyberspace?
I agree on the jewelry. That’s absolutely something the rich would wear in their floating cities above the rabble.
True cyberpunks only wear eyewear if it serves a practical purpose

Is it not just the metal part of a woman’s headband with the fabric removed and worn on the front of your face? Or maybe a slider on a set of headphones? I feel like I did this when I was playing cyberpunk with my little brother when I was like 9.

It’s no worse than people who wear glasses for fashion. Not everything you hang off your body needs to have a practical purpose.

…something that says, “I can afford to be impractical”? @beschizza’s description and your post really gel’d the idea that this is a product for the lowest level of gentry, one step above me but three steps below the top.
Which is to say that if I buy one of these, maybe someone will mistake me for gentry, too! If I don’t accidentally step in front of a bus, first.

So it’s basically Lt. Geordi La Forge’s visor, minus the visor.

If only this Quibi scrub bar had come out 29 years sooner!
If these had either tinted sunglass or prescription lenses, yeah, sure, silly but whatever, I can see it. This…? spits
