When you walked up to talk to an acquaintance, wouldn't it be nice if your AR glasses popped up a display of their name, a brief bio, and the last time that you met?

It isn't just useful for mass surveillance.

True. Though this is a minor benefit, considering the risks we will be incurring for it. It's like warming your hands on the flames as your house burns down.
