See that’s a good use. I’m thinking of getting a “dashcam” style gopro or other camera9 for my bike (I might be able to get a free low end one through a law firm I consult with from time to time. I like free and at 15mph you aren’t that blurry. Or maybe you are but for free I can try it and use it elsewhere like a chump if it sucks) 9
I’m not sure how it’s working but if it was saving to your phone then uploading instantly to FB, it would be caining TF out of the users data allowance!
Just did a little digging and it does but you can use them without a data connection so you could avoid uploading any footage to them
When google glass first debuted, I was thinking how much easier my job could be if I could have the faces of the people authorized to enter in that device to make admission easier (there were over 300 faces to remember that didn’t have to use their issued ID due to position), as in, when a person approaches if they were in my “PRIVATE ON DEVICE” database their access card would display on my screen. Never got one, thankfully. This new tech would be great for this except I doubt that there would be an offline mode, so I see no use case for this unless you want to assist in the tracking of people for Meta.
so like, i think the tech is cool. i can’t really think of a good use case for it though. that’s the thing.
Accessibility: live captions & transcripts. Sharing whatever you see in high stakes situations, eg, police interactions. Seems pretty obvious.
I would like it to replace clunky GoPro camera to capture outdoor sports adventures.

There’s a couple of people on SM I follow who use them.
There’s a street photographer called Bleg who always explains to people that he is using them to record the interaction.
Another is a guy that feeds several cat colonies on his mail route (first class whiskers) so he can use both hands to stroke and feed the cats.
Another is a guy called AsamaPOV that visits small family run restaurants in Japan and like the first guy, always explains and asks permission.
They’re examples of nice people but the scope for abuse is so wide
How do they ask permission without filming them first though? With such a device, I’d assume it is always recording and sending data to Meta servers.
