Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a small fee to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers around the country.
Strong disagree. People fucking hate wearing tech on their faces for any extended period of time. People will push back on tech if it doesn’t actually offer any benefit to users and this doesn’t do anything better than what we already have.
Any killer app idea could be done better and faster and reach way more people if you just build it on a phone with your existing phone camera.
Plus there’s a bunch of people who actually have to wear glasses every day aren’t going to want to have pay the premium to get already expensive prescription lenses for what amounts to a novelty spy cam for Zuck.
The only tech I wanna wear on my face for an extended period of time are VR kits, but I’m mostly playing music games and I’ve been quite sedentary for a long while so I have to work back up to “extended periods of time” D:
Right now I’ve got a good half hour to an hour of high level play and I’m rekt. I used to be able to go for a few hours at least… I don’t think I could even do multiple hours of walking around Skyrim anymore.
Awwwh, I’m so sorry you had a bad experience D: that sucks ass! You really gotta ease your way into VR. I played short bursts of games that don’t require moving much until I got more comfy. Then I played moving-around games using a program called NaLo, which lets you swing your arms at your sides or in front of you to walk, which really helped me get used to ambulation! Now I’m totally comfy moving around smoothly, but it took some getting used to for sure.

My eye doctor gave me one of those as part of an eye exam once. I got nauseous after 30 seconds and had to call it off. I’m still annoyed about that.
