Anybody thought about using smart glasses as duel use, eye protection and to record your rides?
How many hours recording would you get? Is it easy to stop/start recording without having to press things on a phone app?
Could be the future, kill two birds with one stone & all that. 🤔

I'd thought about this, being a lifelong glasses wearer. There seems to be a wide range of things classed as smart glasses from simple frames with headphones to full on 3D gaming gear, another way of using your mobile phone, to a full blown wearable computer. If you're a tech geek prepared to spend large amounts on gadgets which are at present constantly developing, and therefore perhaps being updated and superseded quite frequently, maybe it's for you. It's an attractive idea to have a map display in your specs that you can see while riding or walking about, for example.

At present, until the the systems become more standardised, affordable and mainstream, not for me. I still haven't had a satisfactory solution to the problem of being a full time glasses wearer who would need to have a new pair every 1-2 years due to wear and tear or prescription changes, and how that would fit in to the needs for specialised lenses that would work with the display.

There is also a lot of hype about these things which makes it not so easy to get the facts on line. Perhaps a visit to somewhere like Currys might be helpful to get some background, though maybe they're as much about shifting product as anything else.

I think a trip to an optometrist would be more enlightening than Curry's. My experience of their shop floor sales staff is that they are totally ignorant of anything they sell 😕

Nope, most footage by other riders is a boring as hell to watch. It would be like watching somebody elses photos of their BBQ for most. Experience a ride first hand and keep the mories for yourself.

Recording ones ride probably isn't really for your entertainment. Maybe it's just in case of an incident, like dash cams and the like.

Better a fixed mount camera designed for that purpose, no? AI glasses are not really suited for that task. Plus he did say record his ride, not catch any serious incidents for police attention.
