Manufacturers are attempting to address these concerns through measures like visible recording indicators (LEDs), [[privacy by design]] principles, onboard processing to limit data transfer, and focusing on more conventional eyeglass [[form factor]]s. Public acceptance likely depends on demonstrating clear user benefits while mitigating privacy risks and social friction.
