[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago (2 children) Could these replace the dashcam in my car? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ThePrivacyPolicy@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago Not sure you'd want to be constantly writing to the internal storage of these on every drive like a dashcam - it can be hard on memory to be constantly written like that (hence often using high endurance SD cards in dashcams and having the ability to replace those when they kick the bucket with wear). Plus, a good dashcam would have front and back facing cameras and these would only see what you do. That being said - I know some people who use the Gen 1 glasses to record things like racing cars and flying airplanes and the footage is bloody awesome from the driver perspective like that. I'd love to see the Gen 2 somehow safely incorporate a HUD for example. permalink fedilink source parent [–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 0 points 10 months ago (1 child) Short answer, no. Cameras are still much worse than the human eye, especially once this small. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) What? They are talking about replacing the camera fixed to their car with this one on their head. They are probably wondering if the resolution is good and how the recording works. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 point 10 months ago* Yes, but a dashcam is already pushing the limits of getting a decent wide view camera that can see far away, and it's substantially larger than the one embedded in the glasses, and is fixed on the dash right near the windshield, making it much less susceptible to both movement and effects like glare / reflections. permalink fedilink source parent
