Demo is impressive and shows what is possible

This is a fantastic demo. I've tried to build these type of prototypes for all Meta Headsets in the past but their very limited API/SDKs block you from doing anything meaningful…
alonsonic on HNI love this demo! 35 seconds, terrible video quality, but it shows you can unlock so much more. Great job.
DevX101 on HNAwesome demo, short simple and to the point. I did not know Meta released smart glasses. Has anybody found them useful or is it more of a novelty?

Hacker ethos of a fake account to send photos

Very cool! Hacker ethos (make a fake account to leverage sending photos), short and simple demo. Nice job

Objections
Privacy concerns about covert recording with smart glasses
From 3 comments
Ok so do you just wear these around in public? Do you think people will see the pretty obvious lenses and be confrontational? That's the only thing stopping me... I love tech…
TheHumanist on HNI think that's reduction ad absurdum. I have an expectation that people I'm speaking with aren't filming me without making it clear that they're doing so. Anyone doing otherwise…
AlecSchueler on HNI care and presumably other people with the same outlook care, that's why I was asking. You're trying to assuage my concerns with the information about the light. That's Meta…

Requests
A real Meta SDK with camera access
From 3 comments
Meta folks if you are reading this , please give us a real SDK. Great hack though until we get that!
gourneau on HNI wish meta glasses were an open platform and we could directly integrate with vision/llm apis.

Questions
How the fake account was created and whether it requires a Facebook account
From 2 comments
Oh is this your project? It's really cool! Ok, so how long have you had these? I was unaware they had released these but they look pretty fun AND the price point is surprisingly…
TheHumanist on HNI will wait for some kind of version that does not require a facebook account. Cool demo tho.

Whether the glasses have a usable feedback channel beyond audio
From 2 comments
What "feedback" do you get from the glasses. Imagine taking a picture or sending a message...

alonsonic on HNThird-party apps can access a single composite "front camera", but only if a "spatial persona" is found on the device.…

Instagram livestream connection
From 1 comment
I did recently try to reverse engineer the connection Instagram are doing with the glasses in order to livestream through the glasses. However, not too familiar with trawling…
