Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don't find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

There’s open source but not video capable. The Brilliant Labs Halo glasses coming in November are more of an informational companion with a peripheral-view display rather than a field of view overlay. So it’s not what you’re looking for now, but maybe a generation or two later it’ll meet your needs.

    No, none of this. It doesn't matter if there are "good guys" versions. It shouldn't be a thing at all because it never goes the good way. They'll be bought out by Google or apple, and add in ads and tracking software. Or they'll get big and change core values. Remember when googles motto was like, don't be evil, or something like that? It definitely isn't that anymore. There is no scenario where this kind of tech doesn't turn bad.

    A spec that can be 3d printed and hand assembled by the user (with the exception of the lenses) could work well - hard to enshittify that.
