Oxymoron of the century.
If they really cared about privacy, they wouldn’t include a camera.

As far as I’m concerned the best way of making smart glasses with a focus on privacy is to not make them at all. Or at least don’t stick a camera on it.
I think you hit the nail with ‘no camera’. Honestly, a camera isn’t needed… if you want a picture, use your phone. If you want a POV image or video, use a Go Pro.
Smart glasses should be a display only (well, maybe speakers too).
It’s also possible to have a camera but explicitly no persistent recording built into the hardware design. purely ephemeral video analysis for whatever UI/HUD data you want.
I like the concept of having a display in your glasses. I just don’t fathom why would you also put a camera on them.
If you want to align virtual content with the real world in any way you need a camera attached. Sure, you can use the display for notifications and content that doesn’t care where you’re facing, but having a display attached to your face is a too juicy scenario not to do more with it.

I don’t though. Display and notifications covers everything I’d want. And if I need it to show me details about a business I’m facing, great, add GPS and a compass and it will know.
Without the camera, it IS just… Glasses.

“We, and our 2974 partners care about your privacy so we made this new spy device”
Go fuck yourself, Apple.
I genuinely don’t understand how there’s a market for pedo glasses
I mean nowadays you carry a computer on your person constantly. Your hands are touching a computer, your eyes are looking at a computer.
Computer glasses are seen as the next step.
I’m not confident it actually is, but I understand the why it’s being tried.
Guys, check it out! I did it! Privacy respecting smartglasses!
Now tinted, to protect the users privacy!
Companies seem to catch up. It’s a new bait. 🤭
- Ugh… they now want privacy. Calling the Marketing team. 🤭
Did they mention if they were focusing on preserving or destroying privacy?
With Apple’s moral freefall soon to be meeting the levels of every other big corpo, GrapheneOS is starting to look really appealing
If the 2027 AirPods and AI pin/pendant, both expected to come with cameras (or at least an optimally placed microphone bug), are anything to go by: “the cameras … are not designed for taking photos and videos, and will instead send information about the wearer’s surroundings [including any others in it] to Siri.”
Phew… I’m soo relieved the data is just being fed straight to Siri.
Well, it doesn’t take a genius to assume the existence of the Vision Pro suggests work on the Vision Non-Pro had begun.
Too bad the current iteration will never see the light of day, for obvious reasons
man - hope this doesn’t come true - we don’t need this slop
First apple tag, now this. Apple must really love the creepy stalkers they cater to.
Motherfuckers
