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).

    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.

    Did they mention if they were focusing on preserving or destroying privacy?

    with focus on privacy

    "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.

    I want wireless glasses displays with no cameras at all. I literally just want these:

    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

    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.

    Oh, look. Apple tacking on to the newest buzzword that no consumer actually ever wanted. Cool.

    Where do I get the job to market Apple Glasses?

    -Smallest chip yet, the Dragon-Enigma chip! -Ten state of the art 8 megapixel cameras more than any other product on the market! -External flashlights. You now can have a flashlight that is directed right where you are looking! -Saffire lens -Water resistant -'Always on' feature provided 1 month of battery when idle. 30 minutes of battery life when in use. -Glasses are integrated into the Apple universe allowing you to see notifications right on your glasses! *not guaranteed to work consistently

    First apple tag, now this. Apple must really love the creepy stalkers they cater to.

    If it automatically blurs out the face and body of everybody unless they explicitly gave permission to be recorded by that user through an app or site, and on a base level before the feed goes to any app, then you can have some semblance of privacy.

    No you can't. If the glasses are blurring faces then the glasses can be hacked and this removed. False sense of security. There's lots of things you can do without faces too. Location/gate analysis, everyone in a database, thousands of smart glasses user, etc etc, it's a surveillance states wet dream.
