I worn glasses that made me look like a pervert long before it was a trend
This pervert erasure will not stand, man!
Glasses that have cameras should require red led to be on at all times by law (when turned on).
I believe the Facebook glasses do have this.
The problem is just that the light is rather easy for an end-user to remove. And that it may be too dim to clearly see in brighter situations.

The most wild feature avout my sunglasses are that they have air pockets in the arms so they float if dropped in water.
Mine have interchangeable lenses, so I can swap them out for yellow or clear lenses if the light isn't so bright but I still want UV protection, protection from magpies, or something to block the wind in my eyes.
that's actually pretty cool
I got one of those foam things that stick to the arms and make it float

But of course it does something. It blocks light, and let a man stare at boobs discreetly.
Hey, don't be sexist... They also let women stare at boobs discreetly
You're right. Women also like to stare at boobs.
Another use case I failed to mention: staring at butts.
So they are perv glasses.
That's cool. Way cooler if they were polarized though.
Did you read the link?
No - at least I'm homest. By your reply I guess they are. Thanks.
my socks also lack video recording or generative AI integration. perhaps i should sell them to eBay
They'll go for more if you don't wash them before selling.
Not if he sells the water he used to wash it as sock juice
😎
I took the time to read the fine print, and these glasses appear to sense the vector of reflected light and specifically filter out waves with a horizontal orientation. The processimg power needed to do this will mean these must have an uncomfortably large battery or require frequent charging.
Polarization is kind of just magic. Which means these sunglasses might actually require mana points to use.
Fortunately it’s that awe inspiring battery technology where the power can be remotely stored and transmitted over millions of kilometers.

DuckDuckGo should apply this lesson to their search engine!
I maintain that this should be the default behavior and the AI be opt-in
I would argue a good 99% of what we experience in life should be opt-in and yet here we are. Use of AI, companies getting our data, etc is all opt-out meanwhile organ donation is opt-in. Wtf.

Will these work for the upcoming eclipse?
I assume you are joking but just in case you aren't: no, regular sunglasses are never sufficient for protecting your eyes from an eclipse.
