I'd wear them if they didn't have a camera - the idea of a little screen and the music/phone call capabilities baked into something I have to wear every waking moment anyways actually sounds really nice. I'd probably turn off the display after the novelty wore off, but the audio alone is still worth it to me.
The Even G2 is screen, audio and no camera. https://www.evenrealities.com/products/g2-a
Then why don't you buy the Bose ones?
Likely because they only do audio.
Don't think you read last line of their original message?
yeah the camera is the troublesome part. Thing is it is useful for camera tracking.
No way, microphone is much worse
Eh. It's already pretty easy to conceal a microphone. Harder to conceal a camera.
It's actually pretty easy to conceal. there's plenty of investigative reporting with hidden cameras and nobody's none the wiser. The fact that they have to add a light to the glasses proves that even if you hide it in plain sight, people will still miss it.
microphone has many more basic uses. taking notes. voice command. I mean we all realize all the smartphones have both of these things right. I mean that is why I don't really like them but I would more like AR although realistically not in a corp is controlling everything way. If it was open source and local and under my control that would be super cool.
