I'm hoping that they'll make an exception for people that are impaired and use it for health reasons.

However, glassholes or whatever you call them can try to take advantage of that too which is why things suck.

    What health condition requires recording one's surroundings?

    Visual impairment. There was a story from like 30 years ago where a guy had some glasses device surgically attached to his skull which used a camera to help him see

    They tried to force him to remove it, and it was a huge controversy

    There's a difference between medical devices and spy cameras, though: Meta's glasses do nothing for visual impairment beyond what any regular eyeglasses could do, and -- as far as I know -- they don't offer any other health benefits. They're at best an expensive toy, and at worst, a major violation of public trust.

    I remember someone on Lemmy or somewhere that because they were so visually impaired that it can help describe their surroundings or help them answer questions about it. Honestly, I have no idea ... I kinda just took their word for it.
