I legitimately struggle to imagine what else you’d use them for unless you were doing daily vlogging, in which case you’d be talking to yourself and it would be pretty obvious. But anyone just like riding the subway with these things is just creeping until proven otherwise.
I’m really interested in the non-cam models. There’s a set out there now that has a HUD with notifications, navigation, translation on the fly, notes for meetings, etc.
The recording audio surreptitiously could be… problematic, but I think somewhat less than video and the in-line translation is legitimately useful and cool feature.
I’ve also been saying for years that augmented reality games could have some real potential, especially for getting exercise while playing games… imagining like running through a field competing with other players collecting coins or a cycle path. Not sure some cool games is worth the tradeoff of having cameras everywhere though. I’d definitely support legislation that says a visible light needs to be on when recording anything.
That’s what I mean - there’s definitely reasons the form factor makes sense. But anyone just walking around with it day to day is looking at T&A. Full stop.
There are tons of things that involve recording what you are doing that doesn’t involve anyone else.
Recording myself taking electronics apart, doing woodworking, or a lot of hobby stuff from first person perspective in a convenient format like safety goggles instead of a camera strapped to the top of the head would be awesome!
Very convenient for recording what I am looking at while driving, not just front and back dash views. People working in dangerous situations having easy recording equipment, like during disaster recovery or administering medical care that would be better than clip on chest cams.
Private individuals going about their day in public? Not enough positives to outweigh the negatives for sure.
What I really want is to be able to record my son at a track meet. Only during his heats, I’d like to be able to look at him with my own eyes and record what i’m seeing with something like a 3x zoom. The camera could be an external, removable addon. when I don’t need it, it’s off.

Like a dashcam to prove you’re innocent, but for your whole life, not just driving.
I’d see them as a neat action cam that’s more sincerely 1st person than a GoPro…if they didn’t have Meta slop on board.

Yeah, My phone has more AI than I want already. cameras don’t need that what-so-ever
