Xiaomi has a history of using open-source to power their stuff like their cameras. Though I'm uncertain how often they strictly follow the rules like GPL they have published some amount of open-source. I wonder if these will be hackable and the source published. That would really make these popular I think.

Unrestricted glasses could really transform the society. Imagine looking at girl in the bar and getting her resume and other things known about her online identity without even saying a word. Imagine red rectangle around some guy in the street "was convicted for murder in 1998, released in 2018" and people avoiding him just in case.

Not sure whether it'll be good or bad in the end, but it'll really change lots of social interactions.

The damage could be controlled by proprietary API providing very limited data to the third-party code. But that wouldn't be open source.

Automated stalking! This is definitely a bad thing.

This is a plot point in a black mirror episode! You should watch it if you haven't seen it, it's "White Christmas".

I can imagine. Nobody would ever step foot on the road or in bars with a bunch of ruffians all around

I wonder if face identification is actually good enough at that without producing false positives. (Also I think there's been enough movies about that particular scenario that there'd be a ton of uproar if that came into reality.)

This sounds like hell
