    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).

        It’s also possible to have a camera but explicitly no persistent recording built into the hardware design. purely ephemeral video analysis for whatever UI/HUD data you want.

      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.
