I'd say "shut up and take my money!", but 1500 bucks? Maybe if i sell one of my kidneys…

Creepers still had access to small cameras and could develop film in their own dark room. Sure, it's a lot more effort, but creepers will do a lot to get their creepshots.

it was but before phone cameras not everyone constantly had a camera in their hand.

which is why i try to cover my phone's camera when holding it vertically, to make others more comfortable

Yeah, but it's easier for people to notice a phone's camera pointed at you at something like a large event or in public compared to some guy just wearing glasses.

It was always possible for a creeper to take creep shots with a camera ever since cameras became small enough to be portable.

Phones arent too far off from your description.

Woah. You're telling me the public finds a discrete, Internet connected camera that could be recording at any time creepy? I'm shocked.

I feel like, "if I wore these to work, I’d be reprimanded, if not fired" should be a clue that they’re not cool in public spaces.

They do talk about immersion…

Didn't want to admit it, but me too at first 😅

Sitting here wondering what liquid these headsets contained.

Thanks :) Yeah works great indoors! It's washed out in full sunlight though.

Looks awesome! Does it work well?

I think we can do a lot of useful things with just 3dof. Those glasses had great head tracking without cameras.

Not sure what those glasses in particular have that other display glasses don't, but in the context of AR cameras are just basically inevitable as we progress towards more advanced devices since they're the only way to do 6dof tracking anywhere and you need a model of the world to do much.

The xreal air 1 proved you can do a lot with AR without cameras. I wish companies would focus on maturing those use cases and make cameraless devices mainstream.

Correct, the model they are releasing this fall won't have a display. The next iteration that will come out next year at the earliest will have a display.

Jesus christ these companies are going to encourage pol pot level violence.

According to the article these just have audio in/out, no visual display.

I still don't feel comfortable being recorded everywhere at all times. I wonder if I could wear an IR lamp that would obscure me to these cameras

As someone visually impaired I've been curious about these types of glasses

You're probably right. Just seems almost every post in an AR community is going to have some privacy implications considering that cameras are very rarely not involved and this video doesn't detail anything especially serious when it comes to those.

Not sure why all the downvotes in this almost unused community.

People seem very trigger-happy about anything that could risk privacy. Also wouldn't doubt some ill-intended people follow the community just to downvote it.

Not sure why all the downvotes in this almost unused community. I thought it was interesting to see glimpses of the various displays. For most of these glasses there's clearly a lot of work to be done on usability since the process of using these features is far too involved for everyday use.
