Why in the world would you want to make it socially acceptable to wear a camera on your face?

For AR to ever take off it needs to be ok to wear a camera on your face. I just happen to think the AR space is brimming with potential.

AR doesn't need the capability of taking pictures or videos, it needs the camera functionality for SLAM.

Because companies that sell advertising, like Snapchat, would love to have all their users stream everything they see.
