>Eventually the glasses can capture a visual record of whatever you saw, the AirPods potentially can capture what you heard

I expect the glasses might have built in audio capture, potentially even playback, themselves and if executed properly will be at least as successful as you predict. I think the current use and popularity of live-streaming and social video apps points to what an impact the ability to live stream to record a complete capture of your first-person experience will have. It’s also going to have immense utility from a practical standpoint, being able to functionally capture any experience for later reference or processing. The utility of live streaming through first person devices is already proven out with remote assistance tech.
