    So the thing laser-projects onto your hand as a screen. Does this mean we can now expect cellphone assholes to blind us with lasers by dropping their hands while it’s still projecting?

      And a bodycam that is on 24/7 that, unlike cops, you can’t turn off at convenient times, and is constantly reporting to a centralized corporation. I’m sure it’s not going to be another step on the privacy hellscape that is technology right now.

        No way is something that size transmitting video all the time, or even processing it on board to upload summaries. The battery would last about an hour

          It’s supposed to be feeding an AI assistant, so it can try to anticipate your needs based on context. It might not be continuous, but it has to be intermittent potentially to be available at a moment’s notice.

        Someone clarified replying to my comment on another post that it’s not supposed to be recording 24/7 (although details on activation are fuzzy).

        That being said, if a friend starts wearing this around then I’m cutting them out of my life.

        It’s a big hell no

        According to the article (if you’d bother reading before commenting) it doesn’t record all the time and when it is, a little light on it would flash.

        But seriously? You actually think that little thing could handle non stop video recording and storage without going dead every like 2 hours?

          Not only did I read the article, I watched the original reveal during a ted talk six months ago and read the press releases then. They touted an AI assistant that would be context aware and anticipate the user’s needs, and evolve with the user. They faced backlash on social media then. How does an AI predicts your needs unless it’s listening and watching everything you do? Not just the camera but access to all your digital data as well. This new video is just to announce when it will be open for pre-purchase. But the led indicator and the “it won’t be listening to wake up” was added to address the criticism.
