SLAM is needed for world locked content.

>1980s-era corner feature detection, and basic fucking geometry

Which are pieces of how SLAM works.

>You can absolutely do what they show with the hardware that Pickle claims is in the glasses.

World locked content is not novel. Existing glasses can do it today. The claim is that Pickle didn't build it. The obvious answer would be that they are using what Qualcomm or someone else built it as opposed to Pickle building all of this within a month.

It absolutely is not. Tracking is needed for mapping, not the other way around.

And it's definitely not needed for what they show in the video that this kid is complaining about. It's not even needed for associating things that go out of view and then come back, though it can help there.

Screws are pieces of how automobiles work, but it would be foolish to suggest that one needs a Honda Pilot to hang a painting on their wall.

Please don't shift goalposts. The claim is that they're lying about capability. And the evidence given for that claim is flat out wrong.
