If they didn't have a camera they'd be pointless, there's really no reason to have a screen on your face if it wasn't to help AR the world.

Which is why it's going to need an extremely valid reason to use them aside from being a creeper.

    Look around. People have a screen on their face 24/7. Currently they need their hand to hold it there.

    Maybe you mean there is no need for a camera on your face. That I agree with.

    So there are certainly some valid use cases. They could be useful for surgeries, engineering design work, surveying, etc. None of these have you wearing them all the time or in social areas through. It's a niche product they need to focus on those markets and stop trying to force mass adoption. It's the same as AI.
