> So it wont be awkward, as it will just appear to be glasses on your head that we've not found awkward in the last several hundred years. That’s what Google Glass tried and it flopped anyway. People also found a camera on glasses (like the Google Glass version) to be highly creepy. Apple emphasized that the front of these glasses will clearly indicate when someone’s taking a photo or video (to the subjects who’re seeing it).

Google Glass wasn't given a chance. They axed it as soon as people started complaining about being nervous around ppl with it on rather than change anything.

  Thus the idea to make the user's eyes visible on the front screen.

We are in a much different world then when google glass showed up. People taking pictures, videos, streaming is now much more commonplace. There was near no external indicator of taking a picture on google glass. I also dont forsee this device being used outside often at first. Google glass also flopped for many other reasons, it being uncomfortable, awkward, and abandoned quickly being some.

  That controversy is an interesting thing to reflect on. I remember it seemed very concerning at the time, but now I feel that much the bigger privacy concern is not being recorded in third person in public by strangers, but platform owners recording what I see and do with the headset. Tracking my eyes to know what I pay attention to. Etc.

  Probably somewhat akin to the people who used to wear BlueTooth earpieces vs people with AirPods/similar in now.
