People using smart glasses with outward facing cameras can go kick rocks. Truly the second generation of glassholes.

Was about to say they need a camera for XR overlays, but they push it as a "live-streaming video" platform.

So, yeah. They can go pound sand.

Why? I haven't been following smart glasses development at all, but a camera is one of the things I would just expect it to have, and would be surprised if it was missing. Like, isn't that a requirement for some kinds of AR? Seems like if you are against smart glasses with outward cameras, then you're really just against smart glasses period.
