The thing is, I’d love glasses with a private display. Imagine walking around a strange city with maps displayed in your vision, or giving a talk and having your notes in your view. Specs with screens! But why would I also want a camera? If I wanted to photograph something I can use my phone - perhaps using my SpecScreen as a viewfinder, sure, but the camera can happily live in my phone still. Basically, I’m worried the perverts are going to ruin glasses with HUDs for the rest of us. There must be dozens of us non-perverts, surely?

I’d wear them if they didn’t have a camera - the idea of a little screen and the music/phone call capabilities baked into something I have to wear every waking moment anyways actually sounds really nice. I’d probably turn off the display after the novelty wore off, but the audio alone is still worth it to me.

Anyone wearing those are absolutely being a perv and playing dumb about it. Apple will probably come out with those next, and push them just like they have air pods so that they’ll have a camera to go with their always active mics! Fucking drives me nuts when people act like they’re so technologically savvy by using siri to call people on the phone.

You either get bought by Google as a start up, or live long enough to see yourself make all of Google’s mistakes.

You know what there should be a pull-down menu option on all phones called, “Radius” and it puts up a censored image over you like a box or a blur that can not be removed by any smart glasses wearer but can be removed by LEO’s if needed. It could use the compasses proximity sensor and identify smart glasses in the area. Could be a nice addition to Android or Graphene.

Nah, live honestly and get over the surveillance state. Glasses are a good thing. Why? U need to protect.yourself from the snakes of this world …and these help. We live in an outrage environment where everyone wants to be offended and/or do character assassination. They are almost needed to protect yourself nowadays.
