I mean, I think it has to be the camera is like number one because it drives everything else.

You know, the same thing like if Meta wanted to add facial recognition.

You know, I think last year it was some students that found a way to add facial recognition tracking software into the Meta glasses and they were able to correctly identify people who were riding the subway.

So, you know...

That kind of tech can obviously and always be used for nefarious purposes.

But I think ultimately the camera is the number one thing that I think it's up to these companies to really figure out a way to make it so that people can't go around the hardware and actually find ways to disable the recording light for the camera.

which is a common thing a lot of people are doing with the metaglasses.

But also, I think designing them in a way where maybe modular cameras you can remove so that maybe if you're entering a sensitive environment, you don't have to take your old glasses off.

And maybe if your glasses wear like I am, I have to carry a second pair of glasses.

But maybe you can just pop the cameras off or something.

I think a lot of social cues will form as more and more people probably will end up buying and wearing and using these glasses.

But I think...

We'll see a bit of a, you know, maybe we'll see science saying no meta glasses, please, or something to that effect.

But I think a lot of the responsibility still falls to the these companies because they are the ones pushing the technology.

They should be responsible for keeping it safe, private and, you know, minimize that data breach risk.

Yeah, and I also think that, like, you know, obviously we saw Google Glass start more than 10 years ago, stop and fail, and then we hadn't really heard a ton of other smart glasses in between.

There were a few, but not really from any major major companies.

But I don't think at this point smart glasses is going to go away.

Like, it's too big.

All the big companies are making them.
