The Story in Brief
A GSM Arena poll has found that smart glasses remain a hard sell for most consumers, with fewer than 5% of voters reporting active use. The majority of respondents see no compelling reason to adopt the technology. Regional availability stops some from trying, but the larger barrier is lack of a clear use-case. Privacy concerns persist, with many commenters calling camera-equipped glasses an invasion of privacy and even "creepy", a reputation hit that has plagued the category since Google Glass.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that smart glasses are the next big thing comes from Silicon Valley, not from the people expected to wear them. This week's poll makes that plain. Less than 5% use them, and many find cameras creepy. That is not a marketing problem, it is a product problem. The real test is not how many units ship, but how many stay on faces after the first week.
