The main tweak being: maybe don't release pervert glasses so you don't end up looking like fucking Facebook.

"...another solution could be building smart glasses with a full camera system but no ability to take photos or video."

Hahaha, yeah... Don't worry the creeps won't take pictures or video, we'll just get an always on visual feed of your entire life. And you will trust us as a giant evil company that makes little custom gold trophies for trump) to safe guard this.

The saving grace with pervert glasses is that the battery life is limited, and the users really won't like it if three quarters of it ends up being used for corporate surveillance.

But yeah, corporate surveillance will happen inasmuch as the corporation can get away with it.

No purposeful sharing, Just this darn unintentional data breach. Oh well, nobody's fault and I learned my lesson with that $2.37 fine
