The glasses don't have HUDs/screens. There are no real time visual clues.

    Of course they have a display, what the hell do you think would be the point of them otherwise? Theyre still fucking dumb, but they'd be even more dumb if they were JUST cameras. Those have also already existed for ages. I remember seeing 'spy camera glasses' on Chinese reseller sites like dealextreme way back in like 2012.

    No these don't have a display. You've obviously never seen these. Mostly they're a built-in speaker in the arms of the glasses and they have a camera that can record but you have to play it back on like your phone or something.

    They literally do. it's pretty simple to just google it instead of being absurdly incorrect and then doubling down.

    Most models don't have any kind of display at all. The most recent model that isn't widely available anywhere yet has a tiny notification window.

    The vast majority of glasses out in the wild that people are using today do not have displays.

    That will change, but right now, if you see someone wearing these glasses, you can be close to certain it doesn't have a display.
