I'm all down for smart glasses, I just don't want anything megacorp on them. If they are to have mics and cams, I want those for AR and voice commands, not to stream me taking to piss to creepy Zuck and his pervert friends.
I don't want you to record me at all times if that's ok.
Why would I? For AR you need mostly spatial data and you can drop the rest. Actual image data is more interesting for stuff like live translation - but it is well within my own interest to not have this stuff send anywhere.
If you want to avoid eyes and ears everywhere in genral, I have bad, smartphone shaped news for you
Yep. Pretty much this. Zuckerberg and the weird way they are going about it is a turn off. But functionally? By a good company? I’d be all for it
I don't want my stuff streamed to even a small company. I'm talking OSS and local processing. I'm mostly into it for AR with smartphone integration, I wouldn't mind having no mics and no option to permanently store any images of that thing
Ah yes, just need one of those mythical ✨good companies✨, who can simply be trusted with recording fucking everything including uninvolved strangers and not doing weird or awful stuff with it.
Just have glasses with clear visual (possibly even auditory) indicators that they’re recording, and store the footage in an SD card, easy. Of course though, they won’t sell nearly as much because people won’t be able to use them to showcase le epic pickup skillz.
