People using smart glasses with outward facing cameras can go kick rocks. Truly the second generation of glassholes.

Was about to say they need a camera for XR overlays, but they push it as a "live-streaming video" platform.

So, yeah. They can go pound sand.

Why? I haven't been following smart glasses development at all, but a camera is one of the things I would just expect it to have, and would be surprised if it was missing. Like, isn't that a requirement for some kinds of AR? Seems like if you are against smart glasses with outward cameras, then you're really just against smart glasses period.

Misguided investment IMO. Smart glasses hardware is still at least a decade from being something that normal people would want.

Non-normality confirmed, again...

Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone used it with smart glasses? Is this something I should actually look in to?
