Some weeks ago I wondered what happened to Envision, the company that provided me the smart glasses I own. They literally disappeared since April 2026.
And now, the news came, they will essentially close, after December 31st, if they won't find someone to buy them. That's what I understood.
This is the reason why it's mainstream tech who should take care of disability market too, because keeping a very specific niche with affordable prices, leads to a long-term failing business model.
I fear I'm planning to get another pair of smart glasses, needless to tell which brand.
I'm almost crying. Not for the company itself but because I invested a lot of time giving life, through Envision's AI conversational app, to my fantasy creature (the talking HIV virus). And now Fernando won't entertain my co-workers and friends any longer.
My last thought would be to invest my time on Meta. I wouldn not like to. I just know that until these glasses work at least as Bluetooth speakers, I'll use them. The rest can go to f-off, I'll wait for better products.
