So when Google Glass came out, people using them were "Glassholes" because of the ability to record surreptitiously, albeit for a very short period. And there was no mistaking Glass. Meta's look normal and I doubt the LED indicator will draw enough attention this time around. Plus as others have noted, by the time you notice it's already too late and anyway the onus is on you to ask the wearer to stop. And this is worse, as it streams directly to social media. There should be some (legal) way to jam these devices within a certain proximity radius.

For me, and probably a lot of people, it's the opposite, I'd pay more if needed to get the non tech version

if facebook were business smart, they'd sell these for less like the TV screen people...

they are business smart!

Luxottica is probably doing very nicely on this partnership, and may well be offering Apple a substantial price cut to compensate. I had never heard of 'Rayban' before this Apple announcement! (Not that I am the target market for sunglasses anyway, in dark and wet Great Britain)

Have you seriously never heard of Rayban but know what Luxottica is? I dont want you to dox yourself but I assume non US…?

Rayban is famous worldwide tho

These could be pretty incredible if the platform was more open. You get highly available image and voice input, and good voice output. Imagine if you could take a picture of anything, add a little note, have it filed away. Not necessarily an awesome Instagram picture, but just a picture of some mail you got, a tool you are putting away, any thing you want to record and save. Heck, why not a picture of your computer s…

I would be so uncomfortable having lunch with someone wearing these. Am I alone in that?

Just take them off when you have lunch? That’s what I do with my sunglasses
