That’s how many people in Germany say they’re open to using AR glasses (Bitkom). One in four - and even more among younger generations.
Surveys aside, the direction is clear: #AR and #SmartGlasses are gaining momentum.

Along Estonia’s border with Russia, you can probably see the future of European #security taking shape - not war, but hybrid pressure, drones, and constant readiness.
One thing is clear: security isn’t absolute anymore. It’s something you protect and prepare for every day.

Meta’s next “real” smart glasses (Hypernova) may come with a catch: a neural wristband. Futuristic tech, but also a friction point: another device from an unproven category to wear, charge, and accept socially. Does that make the glasses feel more gadget than breakthrough?
