I wonder how society is going to adapt to everyone literally having a camera pointed at them all the time by the people they interact with. You can say 'there are cameras everywhere' or 'cameras are on phones', but it is different when the camera is on someone's face that you are talking to. Imagine every social interaction being on video, or at least not knowing if it is. We will have to adapt to that, probably by being overly cautious about what we say and do.

I wonder if VR cameras can be blinded by IR emitters like we used to do to digital video cameras in movie theaters. My IR LED-studded headband won't look any stranger than someone walking around in public with a VisionPro strapped to their head.


Many VR systems rely on IR light for controller tracking, but if the camera is doing hand tracking, it might filter it out.
