Smart glasses and camera glasses have something of a chequered history. It’s hard not to think about high-profile failures like Google Glass, whose users (dubbed ‘glassholes’) were effectively bullied out of existence. However, there’s been a resurgence of interest recently, with Meta partnering with Ray-Ban to launch its AI powered smart glasses – and, on the cheaper end of the scale, these simple camera glasses from iVue, called The Glide.
With no wireless connectivity or AI smarts, these are designed to be a decidedly simpler prospect than other camera glasses. They’re operated via a single button, and they have 64GB of built-in memory – meaning no fussing with SD cards. When you want your footage and photos, you simply plug in via USB-C and drag them off the old-fashioned way.
