Not all smart glasses have cameras. A camera is not needed for real time subtitles.
It was an example of use cases for wearable tech and people with disabilities. Cameras aren't 'technically' required for the other example I noted related to eavesdropping. There are plausible reasons why people with disabilities would need glasses with cameras, and 'recording' people extends beyond just camera-based recordings. The issue is more with ubiquitous, covert, wearable smart-tech.
