People using smart glasses with outward facing cameras can go kick rocks. Truly the second generation of glassholes.

    Why? I haven't been following smart glasses development at all, but a camera is one of the things I would just expect it to have, and would be surprised if it was missing. Like, isn't that a requirement for some kinds of AR? Seems like if you are against smart glasses with outward cameras, then you're really just against smart glasses period.

    Misguided investment IMO. Smart glasses hardware is still at least a decade from being something that normal people would want.
