I can see the clear benefits of smart glasses, but can't imagine owning them myself (until there's a local only version). It feels like it will be a social faux pas as well, as I can't imagine being comfortable in a social setting around smart glasses wearers knowing they could be recording anything I'm saying/doing.

I may be the luddite here and I'm sure if they get enough adoption it will eventually be commonplace, but at the moment I'm struggling with this.

I see this as socially acceptable as me going around carrying a broadcast camera on my shoulder.

I think one thing I'm concerned about, is that people don't like to wear glasses.

The other thing is, people also don't like to have overlays in their vision, video games have been moving away from them for example.

I wonder if we wrongly think that smart glasses are a better ergonomic experience but in reality they aren't.

I imagine the ergonomics of getting punched in the face for wearing this in public would be rather unpleasant.
