Apple AR headset codenamed 'T288' said to run new 'rOS' operating system, launch as soon a...
I don't disagree that an AR visor could work without a forward-looking camera, but the lack thereof would impact the AR Visor's capabilities. I suspect Apple's will have a camera.
I assert that the "creepiness factor" of a forward-looking camera is linked to the assumption that said camera can / will be used to record. So far, this has been true -- in fact, Google touted Glass' ability to record and share photos / videos as essentially the best feature & made the camera super overt ... both decisions were probably mistaken. Google might be forgiven, however, because Glass wasn't an AR Visor.
I suspect that, IF ...- The AR Visor's camera(s) is (are) seamlessly blended into the design (and, therefore, "hidden" or covert), and ...
- There is 100% trust that said camera(s) cannot record ...
... THEN the creepiness factor could be effectively reduced to zero.
If Apple can make an AR Visor that looks like a normal pair of glasses then 95% of people won't even begin to think of the "creepy recording issue". If Apple can guarantee that the AR Visor's camera(s) cannot record, then it'll likely address 4% of the remaining 5%. There will always be the 1% who are skeptical and fearful ... see TouchID / FaceID launches.
