"not embarrassed to wear it in public"

This sounds like the makings of the glasshole 2.0 phenomenon. A lot of people don't want to be filmed even if it's not officially recorded.

“Officially recorded”? Is it being recorded? Assumed it was just a live feed

Parts of the images recorded by such systems can usually be retained 'for improving tracking quality'.

Also the user can obviously activate recording whenever they want. I would not be happy to see vision pro users in a coffee shop I visit and would petition to ban them just like Google glass was.

I had a Google glass myself I used at work and I always had a big sticker over the camera.

But on the vision pro it has too many cameras to block and obviously it won't work anymore then.

what do you think happens when you walk into a store? public transit? Or even walk in very high traffic areas?

I think google glass was different. it had a very visible camera on the front AND its primary purpose was to capture moments in daily life. Vision pro is none of that. In fact, reviews say video capture is poor quality.

I struggle to see the similarity personally.

Where I live it would still illegal to film people without their consent. You wearing a thing doesn't create that consent.

And quite frankly even if it wasn't illegal, just assuming others have to be ok with this is a dick move. If you ever showed up to my party wearing these glasses and didn't put them down at the door I would kick you out and never invite you again.

And I would not be wrong, except in a world where people are like: "well actually".

Oh I agree it’s uncanny and stupid. But in my mind, the word “filming” = recording reality and SAVING IT (or broadcasting it) somewhere. Is pass through video for the purpose of seeing what’s going on around you and navigating considered “filming”?

When i’m in public i don’t expect privacy.

i’m curios, does your city / country allow tesla vehicles on the road? They film without your consent as well, for lane assist and “self driving”. where does one draw the line?

Wow interesting read. I am sure it might be a little one sided, but this is still a great data point.
