Don't you think this is just a legal cya feature so that people can't claim that they were being recorded without their knowledge or consent? I mean, if someone walked up to me wearing these big, stupid looking glasses with a flashing light, I would assume they are recording me.
Just curious, what can these glasses do for someone which can't be done better by some other device? I spent lot's of money and effort to get out of having to wear heavy, uncomfortable, sweaty glasses which needed constant cleaning. If I want to make videos, there are lot's of less cumbersome options out there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a gadget person. I'm not criticizing anyone for buying these and playing around with them. I just don't see the practical usefulness at this stage.
Everyone has their opinion about wearing glasses. I'm lucky as I only need to wear glasses for reading tiny print. But I do wear sunglasses and keep a pair of Rayban's in the car.
So you have a valid question as to what the camera in the glasses offer that your camera in your phone can't do?
1. The biggest benefit for me is "point of view" video recording. Working with both hands free while recording at what I am looking at.
2. When out as a tourist, I like to capture a walk about of the scenery. I used to have a small camera mounted on my hat, but camera glasses are much better and less silly looking.
3. The fear some people have of being recorded is actually rare. On YT those travel videos I enjoy watching have recorded some who complain and the reason is obvious because they are in the act of doing something illegal or caught cheating on their spouse. It's rather ignorant because it is rare these days to be in public place and not be recorded by security cameras whether private or by our government. A tourist recording his vacation scenery is not interested in people walking on by. However there are some who are seeking people doing stupid stuff for tiktok fame. Actually most of those tiktok stunts are staged.
4. Now for my personal objection to the flashing LED light- When I got my first pair of Rayban Meta glasses, on my first day using them at my granddaughter's Beach birthday party, twice a complete stranger came up to me while I was busy recording the kids playing a game. They interrupted me just to ask- Why is your sunglasses flashing that bright light? So much for capturing the moment of memory with the kids playing naturally.
Of course, my primary reason for having these glasses is the camera. But AI glasses go beyond just capturing memories on the fly much faster than getting out my iphone. I can just say "Take a photo" or "Record a video" and it does that immediately. Then I could also say "What am I looking at?" and it will identify what I'm looking at. Or see a sign in French, And I can say " Translate that please" Or look at a price in Chinese and say "How much is that in US dollars?" Adding AI to the camera is huge! It puts the camera on a whole different level of ability.
After spending a couple days with the Rayban Mega glasses, I bought a second pair and put custom Rx lenses in for reading at my workstation. Another cool feature, is at my computer someone posts a statement of "fact," I can ask for what the source of that is- and it will use AI search for a reference after speed reading the post and then tell me if it can find any reference on the internet for that comment. For example- Someone says 75% of all people approve of ... . AI would quickly find a reference or tell me it could find no such documentation. Pretty cool, right? Some AI enthusiasts believe people using these glasses will be able to appear like they have a 200 IQ. LOL!
Lots of owners are upset about that. I don't live stream but just want longer record time. In a test, yesterday, I did 15 one minute video clips back to back and the glasses did not over heat. The on board storage should be capable of much longer time at 3K video. I did send in a bug report to Meta, but got no response.
