There’s a small LED that lights up when recording.But yeah… socially it’s still kinda awkward.Especially indoors.

It’s surprisingly decent for social media. Not DSLR level obviously.The real value is POV shooting without pulling out your phone.

RE: Why do most “smart glasses” still suck at identification tasks?

RE: Image sensors on wearables without displays — underrated or pointless?
