This is a privacy nightmare, having a camera you don't control on your glasses. Imagine all of the things you don't want public, now watch all of those things

This is a privacy nightmare, having a camera you don't control on your glasses. Imagine all of the things you don't want public, now watch all of those things become public from streaming it all to a closed source app of unknown security practices

Sure, but my phone runs Android, which probably feeds everything to Google anyway, which includes position, voice, camera, every message I send. I probably bring my phone around more than my glasses.

  Are you filming yourself in the bathroom, taking pictures of your credit card, taking pictures of confidential work documents, taking videos of meetings and then sending them all to an unknown person every day all day? Also Android is open-source, gives more controls and isn't taking constant video of your life without your consent of where that media is going, how it is stored or for how long.

    I take pictures of personal identification because it's a legal requirement to hail a car (now that taxis are going extinct). I need it to use ewallets, contact tracing, all these things that are legal requirements because of COVID. I'm fine with the government having this, but not with this going in the hands of Google, Xiaomi, etc. I take photos of passwords sometimes, when there's no way to copy paste them from a protected computer. We've had meetings early in the morning on Skype, which sometimes I drop in and Bluetooth in my car. We write meeting minutes and email them. Gmail is blocked by the company, but some of the consultants use it. Word is used to write them and now it syncs to a cloud. I can leave my phone on the table and nothing prevents Xiaomi from secretly recording it. These are all questionable security practices. Our main competitors are tech giants, not some guys raising money on Indiegogo, and one of the clearance requirements is blocking Google Drive on computers. Open source is great and all, but it's still easy to obscure. WhatsApp stores "no messages on their servers" but I don't buy that it's not reading my messages and giving "analytics" to Facebook. Glasses, I can take off.
