Idk, I assume I'm being watched via CCTV at least wherever I go nowadays. This may be literally in your face, but still... these devices will become invisible and ubiquitous.
Does all that CCTV footage get firehosed to Zuck and friends so they can mass tag everyone in every photo whether you like it or not?
On the one hand I can't remember the many people I see at work and would love heads-up display saying names, birthdays and reminding me what we spoke about.
On the other hand I don't like cameras recording my socially embarrassing actions in the first place, let alone tell people who I am. Like hell I want Zuck to know what stupid shit I said 4 years ago to that one person I won't see ever again.
Out of the loop, do you need a facebook/meta account (if yes, how much info they requested) to use the glasses ?

They should have used a photo from a webcam or old phone (or a noise filter) to better represent the nighttime quality of the tiny lenses. This one seems to have real DSLR depth of field. The interface is obviously fake, too. As a journalist, I would go the extra mile to take (or license) a shitty picture/video frame with motion blur (and no good-looking subject) and edit it into the supplied promotional material rather than plainly repost that obviously fake shit.
hidden camera prank videos are about to become a lot more rampant I think.
