To be clear this is not a real product or whatever I would just be interested in people's thoughts.

Do you think you would like privacy focused smart goggles? Eg: no camera/hardware camera lock, all on device intelligence, signal support, idk what else you guys can leave ideas in the comments.

It would be at best, privacy for the viewer/owner but not for the viewed. Why would you buy always seeing glasses to protect the privacy of those you see?

There is no such thing as a privacy respecting camera you are pointing at others.
