Decision guide / For people choosing camera, audio or display glasses
Decide whether you need camera, audio or display glasses.
Products called smart glasses can do substantially different jobs and depend on different host devices.
Work through the question.
- State the job first, then shortlist products in the corresponding category.
- Confirm required phone, computer, adapter, prescription solution and regional feature availability.
- Check recording indicators and privacy expectations before using a camera product around others.
Start with checked examples.
