The Final Vision: When AI Rewrites How We See, Will the Market Still Buy It?

Final part of Series Beyond the Lens: China’s Smart Glasses and the AI Future

I didn’t expect to spend this much time thinking about how we see.

When I started writing about AI glasses, I thought it would be a short exploration of form factors, use cases, maybe some product strategy. But by the end of series, I found myself sitting with a deeper question: what happens when a device doesn’t just help us act—but helps us perceive?

That’s where things got blurry.

Not because the technology isn’t real.

But because the consequences are harder to grasp.
