Facebook Announces Project Aria
- nmstoker 6y agoSurprised this did not trigger discussion. Interesting idea but the anonymising efforts seem a touch basic. It always seemed strange to me that Google Glass didn't counter the "are you recording?" concern by simply letting the user flip up the camera module (or slide an obvious cover over the lens). Given the owner of Facebook has been known to cover the lens, this might have been worth a look here too. When something's new and uncertain, nothing beats a bold signal that you're respecting privacy. And with that it then gets a better ride for normal use (since there are plenty of times it's perfectly normal to record in public). The introductory video seemed good, but I'm not a fan of people marking their own homework ("This is going to be great" - they know before they've even done the research?!)
