My wife wore Meta glasses (we borrowed a pair from a friend) on a visit to the Vancouver aquarium and they were frankly amazing. You could just hit a button and say something like “what’s that orange fish in the back?” and it just tells you and then you can read stuff off the plate or get more information if you need.

I get that this kind of dunk polemic is popular among a certain crowd but it’s more incantatory than persuasive. For the rest of us who don’t particularly dress stylishly or whatever I guess it’s fine. I can be tacky. Not the greatest sin.

you can already do this with your phone without casually and needlessly invading the privacy of everyone around you

[bloody-crow]

What kind of privacy are people supposed to expect in a public place like an aquarium?

Is the phone's camera more privacy-preserving than the glasses's camera?

[frizlab]

Yes, obviously? Holding a phone to film someone is obvious, having glasses that film is just having glasses…

[arjie]

Yes, and now I can do it with my glasses without casually and needlessly invading the privacy of everyone around me - except the fish and I’m not that convinced by an argument for fish privacy.
