WHY NOW
The software layer is becoming the platform question.
Google and Meta are no longer treating eyewear as an accessory category. The software layer is becoming the real platform question.

WHAT CHANGED
Google intelligent eyewear
Launch information tracked.
Meta glasses
Translation capability data updated.
NEXT TRIGGER
An exact Google launch date, European availability or final pricing.
This is the event that would materially change the current Radar state.
ZERIONIA VIEW
Smart glasses are becoming a software platform before they are becoming a smartphone replacement.
What would change our view
- Weak repeat usage after launch.
- No meaningful developer ecosystem.
- Persistent social rejection.
- Capabilities remaining mostly phone-dependent.
