This was what made the original Glass interesting - being able to live your life while also archiving memories for Future You etc.
Still, Facebook isn't exactly a company that has earned trust to fill that role.

Honestly this single HN comment may have turned my opinion of the product category around.

Wearing the same glasses constantly just in case your kid makes a thing?
There is a reason why people get lasik.
But hey if people start wearing more sunglasses outside good for them it's better for the eyes.

Or … you could try not constantly filming your children — and avoid creeping out everyone with your spywear.
I continue to play with my toddler at all times but I can also capture critical moments without my kid thinking I’m constantly on my phone.
The grandparents have the footage on loop. This is just a win-win-win all around tbh even without any displays.

PS: added benefit that when I don’t pick up my phone to get to the camera constantly I conveniently miss the attention destroying notifications most times from other Meta products
PPS: Caveat: I live in a sunny location so sunglasses make sense most days.
