Not a thing about privacy. I assume they are streaming the world back to their servers. Where are the guarantees that nobody sees what you see? Nobody gets telemetry on what you are looking at, etc etc. I'm not prepared to have those things near me and will likely ask people wearing them to put them away without understanding the privacy implications. This should be a front page discussion instead of not mentioned.

Wdym? There's a "Privacy by design" section: > You’re in charge of what gets captured, and a glowing indicator light lets others know when you’re recording. We prioritize on-device processing, so you’re in control of permissions when third parties request camera or microphone access with internet connectivity. I still don't know if I'd trust them, but they at least address it.

We need legislation that there’s a big bright red light when these things are recording. Do we really want to live in a world where people have hidden cameras strapped to their faces? Normal people don’t want this, it’s creepy

Two things about smart glasses: 1. If I'm wearing smart glasses, whether I'm filming or using it for something else is nobody's business. I paid for it, I can do whatever I want with my computer glasses. 2. The fact that someone wearing them can snap my picture and unveil my entire history with one glance is terrifying. If they don't, the company can still do it "accidentally". 3. You can't have one without the other…

It’s no more creepy than every person in the world holding a camera in their hand/pocket and every business and home in a city recording passers by 24/7. Not ideal, but also nothing different or new.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

At this price, ain't two people going to make eye contact, ever.

First iPhone seemed useless and expensive.
