Fucking clownish that the world is so dominated by creepy techbros that it's a given that anyone's camera on anyone's phone takes pictures/video without the user's permission or awareness.
In a somewhat less fucked up world that shit would be a criminal act that would shut down the manufacturers.
It's less about cameras recording clandestinely and more about people just being snitches and taping completely on purpose
Oh, right. I forgot some people are voluntarily creeps with their cameras because it rarely crosses my mind.
It seems it doesn't require prototype "Google Glass" treats for glassholes to be glassholes.
Shame that Google Glass died because I'd like to have this for recording my dog, that way I'd be able to toss him a stick/a ball and just record him by looking at him and not having to awkwardly hold my phone in my off hand.
GoPro?
That'd be great if that was the only use that buyers had for it. It was being used for creep camera antics and general assholery in public, causing many such assholes to get thrown out of public venues and even beat up for being assholes, thus why the product didn't go into full production.
The augmented reality was also causing hallucinations for people who used them for long periods of time throughout the day. When they took the glasses off, they'd see menus or pop-ups that weren't there. This doesn't even get into all the eye strain and damage done to people's vision.
I think that's part of why VR hype waves have crested and receded, no matter what "Oculus Rift" and the MAGA sex pest creep with the fetish for exploding headwear tried to push with it.
As James Stephanie Sterling put it once, Oculus Rift was "privilege goggles" that expected not just a significant cost to buy the damn thing, but sufficient floor space to use it and a rather ableistic presumption on the part of the manufacturers for who could actually use the thing for long.
they better check within the camera app after, I've got some with rear or front cameras relocated to the side/mic hole/3mm jack
