The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

Try standing 10 ft / 3m away, in a crowd, and not actually expecting anybody to have them. Would you notice?

I guess, but by that standard having a mobile phone in a shirt pocket is also hidden.

Yes, yes it is. The glasses makes it just a tiny bit easier to covertly record stuff.

Well now we're already expecting people to have them, so yeah I think people will notice.
