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).

    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.
