Sounds dope! I can definately see this being used for moments when pulling out your phone isn’t right or isn’t possible because your hands are full. For people who say that its a privacy concern, smartphones nowadays don’t even alert people you are recording and have already got your data.

Seems too gimmicky for me, just use your phone, AR glasses should be cool though, as it helps free up your hands and stops people from looking down at their phones all the time

I wouldn’t sit with someone who has a camera pointed at me all the time and looking directly to me while he is actually starring into a the abyss . it’s already enough with people starring at watches and phones. I need to hang out with normal people who actually look at me and have an actual conversation without scrolling down.

The only reason anyone would buy these smart glasses is for the inconspicuous cameras. If you see a hot person, you can take pictures or video of them without them noticing. Eventually smart glasses will be the standard for every pair that you buy so take advantage while you can.

What is more creepy? The millions of security cameras watching us and our children, with praying stranger’s eyes, for the sake of security and fighting terrorism, my eyes .
Each time a smart glass product using camera is release, someone have to bring the creepy side, when in fact even our phone cameras is creeping on us and our family.

You want to use them for getting a different perpective than your phone. Or you will stick your phone to your head? Ive got the insta360 go and believe me, its awesome. The downside I see with this glasses is that it doesnt have an ultra wide camera.

These will bring up some interesting situations I’m sure in business’s that doesn’t want you to record. That little light showing it’s recording I’m sure could be covered up with a tiny black speck of black tape. Probably in the long run we just gonna have to suffer more Karen videos on youtube lol

facebook is hording lot of cash tax free in Europe as so many other american businesses as in slow motion this company is trying to bend privacy and privacy laws into something similar happening in the USA and the EU supports it both internet retail companies asserts to dominate commerce across the 2 continents involve slow integration such as the one here we can only rely on laws to be enforced on airports but i swear if anyone takes a photo of me while in Europe i will not hesitate to seize the product used in the illegal act to violate me, after living in the USA for 2 decades i have seen and experienced a lot of creepy things violated me psychically,so Zuckerberg needs to keep his distance from me or else…

“Hey Facebook” is such a bad name for a summon phrase. “Hey glasses” or “Hey Ray Ban” would sound so much better

What’s missing is the ability to stream from the glasses with a phone, and a usb c plug on the back for extra battery power if necessary

I’ll kick out by force anyone who comes into my store with these spy glasses. It’s basically turning people into facebook spying widgets and asks them to also pay $300.
