Ugh, trying not to get baited into stuff like this but - There are absolutely non-pervy reasons why your hands might be occupied but you want to record a video

This is why gopros exist.

  I mean, this is logically no different than saying that we shouldn't use smartphone cameras because DSLRs exist.

    Ah yes, because DSLRs are hands free?

    It is, because when you're using a smartphone camera you're not trying to hide the fact that you're filming, or at least it's harder to do so. There are already ways to film without having to hold a camera, and those ways produce a better product. The advantage of the glasses is you can be a creep but be less obvious about it.

      - glasses are only for "clandestine" use - any use case I could suggest will be dismissed because other tools exist - those tools are "better" partly because they're not covert - which re-asserts that covertness is the glasses' only distinguishing feature - therefore the only use is being a creep Am I reading this right? If so, it's circular, and I don't think I can do much more than just point that out.

I agree but I also feel like surely these are so few and far between that no reasonable person would introduce a new tech device into their day-to-day wear for this purpose? You really just don’t require constant recording of your surroundings, in a way that is not socially acceptable, in order to get around your hands being full. In the situations where we DO need that capability, we already have solutions, like go pros. What makes this different is that these are for all the time, and targeted at candid strangers in public. Not, like, the mountain bike path. So, to me, that makes them fundamentally perverted.
