I don't know if they're accurate, but none of the prototypes look like something you would walk around on the street wearing. Like the Oculus Rift, they look like something you'd use in your home or office.
If they DO wind up looking more like regular glasses, I expect there will be no ability to take pictures or record video from the front-facing camera. It could be locked down to only be usable by the os for overlays, etc, and probably subtle enough that you don't feel like it is filming you.
I think the "glasshole effect" was more from the feeling that someone was sticking a camera in your face at the bar, in the park, etc.
High-end smartphone are a token of wealth but generally not subject to ridicule, until you bring them up and point the camera at someone. Then it's "get that camera out of my face!" time. Ditto for the apple watch - it's not offensive in social situations because (1) it doesn't have a camera and (2) it's obvious when someone is using it and not paying attention to you.
