Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don’t find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

    I would love a pair of smart glasses to augment what I’m seeing… Give me context, keep me informed, allow me to monitor things closely, yet passively, and let me do it all inconspicuously and unobtrusively! Even better if it has eye tracking navigation.

    Oh, and make sure the hardware and software are open source and self-hosted. If it has all of that I’m in, 100%.

      Open source and self hosted doesn’t protect others from you recording surreptitiously. You’re totally understanding the problem.

      I’m curious enough about Brilliant Halo to have preordered one, but my expectations are tempered. It’s a lot like what you described.
