Exactly. I’d like “smart” glasses to just be an external display for my phone, don’t care about a camera. If I want to take a photo I can use my phone.
But you do lose all the fancy AR stuff without cameras or comparable tracking options, so no high precision navigation, etc. Very limited gesture support with at best ToF style sensors for detection, and similarly no stable virtual screen anchoring (necessary to prevent motion sickness for most) without SLAM type tracking
i’d love these with an overview/overlay that works as a firefighter may need - well an officer outside. chief, safety, etc - an overlay of a building or where your crews are… hrm. app idea!
where are glasses that show a display to you? navigation, etc. no camera. just a hud with details and things you’d see on your phone.
Give me the Apple CarPlay equivalent for the human face, and I’d be happy.
Something like the original Google glasses…
…but like, less shit?

Tbere’s a ton of those.Look for VR or XR glasses
Eg, Viture
I want augmented reality and that does kind of require a camera.
I want the ability to overlay historic photos over real life so I can see in a much more immersive how things used to be.
Overlays of navigation so that paths could be highlighted. Objects I’m looking for highlighted like in a video game.
All the cool things that are context sensitive.
But I want local processing and don’t need recording or photos from my pov. My pov sucks compared to what I can get from holding a camera.

I think after the failure of google glass, no corpos dared try again
The problem with Google glass was the work factor and the camera
Yeah fair, I didn’t bother to look up its features relied on memory, and didn’t remember it had a camera.
