You know the old joke: if we could do anything with just our eyes, the streets would be full of dead people and pregnant women.
I've never heard that joke before, but that's brilliant.
Lol then people will probably start assuming anyone wearing that technology is a pedophile and/or disgusting creep.
I hope we don't repeat Google ~~Lens~~ Glass
I don't see how it won't, people are always going to be sketched out by the notion that the guy across from you could be recording you or taking pictures without your knowledge
Yeah phones can kind of do the same, but it's a lot harder to hide with a phone
Assuming Apple locks down their device enough, it should make it pretty clear when it's recording. Whether this notion becomes generally known and accepted, though, is a question in itself.
People already don't trust the webcams on their own machines to not record them, even when they have hardwired indicator lights, I really doubt that they'll suddenly trust tech that most people have no experience with to be frank.
I don't think it'll be an issue with the Apple Vision Pro specifically though, it's not like the Google Glass in that it's super convenient to wear when you go out on a regular basis. No one but an absolute weirdo is going to sit down at the bar wearing his Apple Vision Pro, it'd be like bringing your Quest 2 lol
What do you mean? You got me curious.
Sorry, I meant Google Glass. People were weirded out and the term "Glasshole" was coined. Basically what the comment above described.
As they should
I don't even know whether to upvote or downvote your comment because I can't figure out if you're trying to say that only a man would do something like this, or that no woman is technically proficient enough to do this.
Have a downvote for the ambiguity.
