My initial reaction to the emergence of smart camera glasses was one of pure disdain. I’m not a fan of wearable tech at the best of times, and I couldn’t understand why anyone needed a camera, augmented reality, and an AI assistant on their face. But sadly, my main cause for concern was how a concealed camera could be misused. After all, the best camera phones are intrusive enough.
And yet that was an unfair assessment, because the best camera glasses also have the power to do a lot of good. For starters, this technology is already being used to positively impact people with certain disabilities, and since smart glasses are still in their infancy, we’ve surely only scratched the surface of what this incredible tech can do.
