If you're out in public, always assume you're on someone's camera. That isn't really new either.

I mean, eventually there are going to be people with camera's stealthily integrated directly into their eyeballs recording non-stop.
Like that black mirror episode letting people relive any moment from their past.

It apparently works with the bluetooth signals which I found really smart.

Absolutely fantastic.
I get an error saying "something went wrong" "please make sure google play store is enabled ...."

i mean... you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes...
I don't want to have to keep up with the current styles of SmartGlasses from however many makers of these things there are at any given time. I am happy to outsource this awareness to someone I can find good reason to trust to provide me the info I need. Just like I don't make my own vaccines, because I have no idea how to get the 5G that small.

Would love to know when the iOS app is coming out.
I dislike Facebook and deleted my account even before they changed to "Meta". I also value privacy.
But what privacy violations do "smart glasses" provide that weren't already trivially available? Tiny cameras are insanely cheap. A reasonably handy person could hide several on their person and there are plenty of "spy shops" that sell actual wearable hidden cameras.
The "I love ICE" kid was wearing Meta Ray Bans but the first video I saw of it was from someone else' camera. I can't leave the house without getting filmed from multiple angles. The only thing those glasses do is make it really obvious that the wearer is a dumbass.
