    I legitimately struggle to imagine what else you’d use them for unless you were doing daily vlogging, in which case you’d be talking to yourself and it would be pretty obvious. But anyone just like riding the subway with these things is just creeping until proven otherwise.

      I’d see them as a neat action cam that’s more sincerely 1st person than a GoPro…if they didn’t have Meta slop on board.

        That’s what I mean - there’s definitely reasons the form factor makes sense. But anyone just walking around with it day to day is looking at T&A. Full stop.

      What I really want is to be able to record my son at a track meet. Only during his heats, I’d like to be able to look at him with my own eyes and record what i’m seeing with something like a 3x zoom. The camera could be an external, removable addon. when I don’t need it, it’s off.

      Like a dashcam to prove you’re innocent, but for your whole life, not just driving.

      There are tons of things that involve recording what you are doing that doesn’t involve anyone else.

      Recording myself taking electronics apart, doing woodworking, or a lot of hobby stuff from first person perspective in a convenient format like safety goggles instead of a camera strapped to the top of the head would be awesome!

      Very convenient for recording what I am looking at while driving, not just front and back dash views. People working in dangerous situations having easy recording equipment, like during disaster recovery or administering medical care that would be better than clip on chest cams.

      Private individuals going about their day in public? Not enough positives to outweigh the negatives for sure.
