I think I might understand what you're trying to say, but calling Google Glass (a specific thing) an Apple product is strange.

- ryanmcbride 4y agoThat's what turned me off of it almost right away, but on the other hand I think it's best for people to be aware of when there's a camera pointed at them, and that was pretty unmistakable with glass. The obvious downside is that people usually don't like if a stranger is pointing a camera at them, so you have to either control for the comfort of the user (not standing out) or everyone around them (not making it easy to secretly film them). Like sure, everyone has a phone that's more than capable of secretly filming things, but walking up to someone wearing glass feels the same to me as walking up to them with your phone up with the camera pointed right at them. I've recently been interested in Rayban stories. Basically sunglasses with cameras and bone conduction speakers. I'm interested primarily because of the speakers, because earbuds don't fit my ears well, but it's still pretty obvious that they have cameras in them which makes me a little self conscious about wearing them.
