This appliance is set to usurp physical space with an overlay of virtual space, which should be expected not only to occlude the physical but also compete with or contradict the physical.
The implications on monitoring and control of thought, dividing classes, and political manipulation are serious. Reality will disappear.
It's already the case that ever computing device is a hub for data collection and imposition on behavior.
AR glasses are personal vision monitoring and filtering devices.

That Zuckerberg is building data centers on the scale of Manhattan island is the harbinger of a very messed up world to come.
I’ve been wanting a “mark as spam” button that hovers over every person, which, if clicked, then filters out any noise they make and replaces them visually with a potted plant (to avoid collisions). I look forward to this being available.

Interestingly, this was one of the first use cases for wearable computers. It's mentioned in "When Things Start To Think" (~1997) by Neil Gershenfeld.
FA*NG will soon swoop in and prevent this from reaching consumers. Then they'll use the bones to introduce ad substitution.
All fun and games until they block out a panel van covered in ads.
