In my eyes anyone wearing one of these is a pervert. I simply don’t see who else could be the audience for a purposefully discreet camera built into a pair of glasses.
Even Google’s attempt at glasses were more overt that these. I’d say Meta is shameful, but that’s not exactly a shocker to anyone at this point.
Edit: Seen a few suggestions, but my counterpoint to all of them is - you don’t need the camera to discreet fir any of these purposes. You’d only need it to be discreet if you didn’t want people to realise you were filming, which just seems aimed towards perverts in my mind.
I kind of like the idea. Take some pictures while doing other things like riding your bike or going on a hike without having to take out your phone. Take a quick picture while shopping to them to my wife. Get navigation cues without the phone. But they are so creepy
I’ve seen videos on Instagram of people using them for a first person view without having to strap a GoPro to their head. Like for hobby work.
But if you’re going biking or whatever, you can just as easily strap a camera to your helmet, and get a 360° view to boot. If you’re hiking or shopping, it’s very little effort to take out your phone and snap a pic. And you get the benefit of being able to actually preview the shot.
I really do not want to stick a camera to my helmet. I’m wearing that helmet as safety gear and I do not believe that it is safe to mount robust things with batteries to something which needs to absorb the impact of a fall.
