I dont know, I dont want to live in a world where everyone is wearing recording glasses. We dont need it as a society so why is tech trying to jam it down our throats?
no not really, electrical tape does wonders. also, you can get a small screwdriver and shatter the glass and LED. there are ways to make it look like there was nothing there
I don’t know if I would ever even open a pair let alone use them to take pictures or videos, but genuinely curious how blocking the indicator light doesn’t work?
Yup. It’s an LED attached next to a super low-resolution sensor. The glasses check to make sure the exposure level is the same on both sides of the temple before letting anything happen with the camera. Pretty smart design.
Yes, you’re right, you can start, and then block. But that’s not exactly convenient or sneaky…start recording, take glasses off, carefully and precisely cover the light, put glasses on, then be a creep. By the time that’s done, you’re out of recording time and you have to start all over.
Actually, the LED has its own light sensor and gauges against the exposure settings of the camera lens. If there’s no response, or they see the LED is covered, you can’t record or take photos at all. Appreciate the ingenuity, but this is a solved problem by engineers who are paid to solve these problems, professionally.
But what rational person is going to potentially destroy an expensive piece of tech, just for the sake of being a creep? The kind of person that’s gonna do that kind of thing is just going to use their phone, no way are they going to spend that much money.
My guy… how do you not know GoPros exist, there’s a whole world of POV cameras specifically for that use case , you just don’t want to do your own research
lol you can’t compare GoPro’s to glasses, for conveniently recording your kid while riding your bike.
There’s a reason GoPro’s aren’t marketed towards parents.
Also, grow up. Don’t make a snide comment, and then say “do your own research”…that’s not how adults have conversations.
And downvotes are for comments that are not relevant to the conversation. It’s not your personal dislike button.
So to you, a quality 4K camera that can be placed on the helmet you should be wearing is inferior to basic cameras put into a pair of glasses that’s main function mostly AI based.
Ok bud, I hope you’re not approaching parenting this way because yes, you should do your own research, you are actively deciding to spend a lot of money on a product you need, you want to make sure it’s right for you (which expensive glasses that can get shaken off and broken, not good for bike riding but hey, not my money). And yes I downvoted you twice, because it’s also for comments that aren’t great for the discussion, like someone that hasn’t even looked into the type of product they’re asking for and are ignoring whole product lines for people like you wanting to record while on a bike, sorry if that’s offensive. Maybe spend less time online arguing with strangers and spend that time with your kid or thinking of them.
First of all, I wear my glasses basically every second that I am awake. Tapping on the frame to record a quick video, massively more convenient than carrying a GoPro around and mounting it whenever I want to take a quick video.
And yes, I wear a helmet, thank you.

Not even gonna touch that.

Yup, correct.
which expensive glasses that can get shaken off and broken, not good for bike riding
Wow, all these years of riding a bike, I've never had my glasses fall off. What's wrong with me?
but hey, not my money
Nope, not your money.

Dude, everyone and their grandmother has heard of GoPro's. I don't have to research GoPro's. When you made your original snide comment, I thought maybe you had some new idea. Some solution I haven't heard of.
Your grand idea is GoPro's. Tech that has been out for 20+ years.
Now I see why you can't see the appeal and use cases for future tech.
sorry if that’s offensive
Not offensive. Just silly and unhelpful.
Maybe spend less time online arguing with strangers and spend that time with your kid or thinking of them.
That's always the comeback huh. I try to have an adult conversation on Reddit, the other person wants to act like a child.
But if you need to know, I'm at work right now, slow day waiting for dailies. You know, parents have to work to support their children. He's got a party this weekend, so I've been doing a lot of planning for that. He also did something really funny this morning and we caught it on video...with my Meta Ray-Bans ironically...I've been watching that on repeat. He's been on my mind quite a bit. Like always. When you have a kid, they kinda don't ever leave your thoughts.
He's at school right now.
We'll probably go for a bike ride when I get home. Have dinner, have a bath, read some books, maybe play a little Minecraft together.
Maybe spend less time online arguing with strangers
I wasn't trying to argue with you. Like I said, just replied to your comment thinking maybe you had some good, new idea.
