To be clear this is not a real product or whatever I would just be interested in people’s thoughts.
Do you think you would like privacy focused smart goggles? Eg: no camera/hardware camera lock, all on device intelligence, signal support, idk what else you guys can leave ideas in the comments.
if it has camera and does show time, calendar, txt files and image files through sd card, without internet connectivity, that would be enough for me
Keep the creep glasses where they belong, in the bottom of a garbage can
Lets not normalize [smart] glasses.
Why not? AR glasses which don’t film the environment but just give a HUD would be rad.
Either we normalize smart glasses or we dont. There’s nothing in between. We should not play into Metas surveillance strategy.
Event if I think there could be nice advantages using AR for specific use cases, for example in construction jobs, we should not invest in those technologies in any way as they would become more popular and reduce privacy overall
There are some already, e.g. https://docs.brilliant.xyz/ with firmware you can replace or https://mentraglass.com/ and I even made one by sticking a RPi with its tiny camera on 3D printed frames https://twitter-archive.benetou.fr/utopiah/status/1449023602079240194/
I’m not saying it’s a good idea or that it’s private enough, just that it’s not a theoretical questions, alternatives to Meta or Google Glass do exist already and some of them are not cloud dependent.
IMHO what’s important is to be explicit about usage, understand how it’s used and have informed consent. If you use them to be sneaky and hurt others, even if they are private, fuck off.
