Is there a reason you think this is more concerning than every person owning a telephoto multi-lens high fidelity digital camera and using it in public constantly?

I'm not saying that to belittle, I'm just wondering what you perceive the difference to actually be.

I do. If I try to film something in public I am very aware that people notice this and that I should not be pointing my phone camera at their children, etc. It is not that easy to get away with filming others unnoticed with a smartphone.

Seems like putting the phone in a shirt pocket or just pretending to use it while filming on a wide angle lens would both be a lot less noticeable than someone with a giant headset constantly tripping over themselves.

And your concern is that people wearing giant face computing ski goggles with a creepy version of their eyes, pointed at your kids, is somehow going to be more inconspicuous than someone taking a picture of the kids with a smartphone?

Thats insane. Anyway the whole point is moot because you can’t wear it out and about. It has boundary limits
