When the necessary technology can be properly miniaturized into glasses format, the revolution will inevitably happen. No matter how many companies failed before, the one that succeeds will have complete new market for itself. It's like saying that Apple didn't learn anything from Palm when they launched iPhone.
Wearing cameras in your glasses must become socially acceptable. It’s hard to see how technology will solve this social problem.
Probably, avoid making them look like cameras. I have several sensors in the notch of my iPhone, but only one of them looks like a camera.

When technology is common enough, the social changes follow. Think about mobile phones. It used to be considered incredibly rude to use your phone for calls, email, or texting when you were with other people physically -- you were supposed to be 100% paying attention to the people you were with. But as phones became ubiquitous this stigma went away.

If you go almost anywhere in a developed nation you are being recorded by a large number of cameras all of the time. The number of public and private surveillance cameras in the world is large and you are most likely covered the whole time you are in a city.

Yes now let’s make it worse. And Facebook branded.

#27Cameras and no display--clearly shows FB is more interested collecting your info than giving you info. If they were smarter, they would have first got adoption of FB AR glasses, then people would think, yeah a camera is a nice added convenience.

#28I would genuinely like a half-decent camera mounted to my glasses. I mean, it's Facebook so it's going to be bad like all of their hardware products, and it'll additionally be tied to Facebook which is a bad thing, but I'm just saying theoretically I wouldn't mind this category of product. Mostly I'd use it to "take notes" when I need a quick shot, rather than taking out my phone camera. I can't tell you how many tim…
Is Portal a bad hardware product, or did anyone even buy one due to Facebook's privacy scandals? Say what you will about Facebook's invasion of privacy but the Quest 2 is great hardware.

I find this extremely discomforting.

Yes. But that is mainly from a distance in a crowd without audio. This will be eye level, close-up and with audio.
