Did they actually launch them with helpful technology in that vein? That is news to me!

    I mean, those are a thing that can describe one’s surroundings and objects around them or assist in handling certain objects. And for people with impaired hearing - subtitles for what people around say can be displayed.

    These are life changing technologies for some disabled people, but alas - we’ve got the least privacy-concerned company to spearhead the progress in this regard.

    Well, on the bright side, that sounds like something that could be preserved into a device that makes it a lot more obvious when it's working, or without the recording features at all. And hopefully we get stuff like that and soon!

    On the flip side with this being a device that is more in the realm of persistent audio and visual recording I can't help but think this type of wearable will lead to every interaction being recorded and transcribed. And sounds like some suped Big Brother network if it becomes ubiquitous of every single person being a camera.
