but how will they know you're 'covertly' recording them if they don't notice the huge goggles on your face and recording indicator light *clutches pearls*
So, you see it as a kind of suppressor. A device that isolates people FROM you.
Huh. Weird, since that’s a key element of my argument against AVP.
And no, no one said anything about legal rights.
Problems arise in these discussions because people often read what they want to see, not what’s actually on the page in front of them.
It’s amusing how many people here can’t conceptualize the captive nature of being on an airplane.
what's amusing is how you think this device that is way more conspicuous than every portable electronics device launched in the last decade is somehow more covert and a bigger privacy risk. once you can quantify your argument with some logic beyond "it has a camera on it + planes are enclosed spaces" i'd be happy to take this conversation seriously.
Your reductionism around what I wrote renders your rebuttal basically irrelevant.
Your point is flawed to start with, that you’re invalidatIng yourself, so it doesn’t matter.
Having failed to demonstrate any such thing I’ll go ahead and ignore your supposed “rebuttal.”
Your point is flawed & is actually the opposite of what you think you mean, as the device is not covert, anyone can see people wearing it, and can see a recording indicator, same as using a proper video camera.
A phone, tablet, and other devices are covert.
Go ahead and look at the Criticism section under the sub-head “privacy concerns.”

I’m not making this stuff up out of whole cloth. There are genuine issues around devices like this and privacy.
Google Glass didn’t have any recording indicator, Apple Vision Pro does.Go ahead and look at the Criticism section under the sub-head “privacy concerns.”

Try again with a better example.
Interesting rationalization, but no. The fact that you can see it doesn’t make it more overt. In point of fact we don’t know what method the device uses to alert others that a recording is in process. Unless your assertion is that we have to assume that any time someone is wearing one of these they’re also recording. In that case fully expect this to be banned in a whole range of contexts.
To clarify, just so we're on the same page, are you asking me to take the criticism of google glass, a completely different product, with an entirely different design, and not even remotely similar use case, and apply it to Apple Vision Pro? Is that the basis of your criticism?Go ahead and look at the Criticism section under the sub-head “privacy concerns.”

So, just so we’re on the same page, you imagine similar privacy concerns don’t impact AVP because… Apple?
I gave three reasons why it doesn't apply in my sentence which you quoted, but sure. yes. it's because Apple.

An Apple engineer, cited by the US website stated that the Apple Vision Pro's camera feeds will not be made available to third-party developers.

Even Apple is aware that privacy is a concern around these systems. So “because Apple” isn’t actually the home run you think it is.
My bad, they must have added one at some point after I stopped following it.
Google devices are easier to hack though, so slimmer chance for Apple ones.
Even still, there’s hundreds of devices that are much more covert, such as phones, tablets, button/lapel cameras.
So you have a minor point, but it’s totally mitigated by the fact that is the AVP is more obvious. Google glass can easily be mistaken for normal glasses to the layperson…..
You literally made "because Apple" up yourself and now you're trying to argue against it for me? This is incredible.Apple Vision Pro to restrict camera access for third party apps

This actually helps counter your original point though….Apple Vision Pro to restrict camera access for third party apps

False. I demonstrated that Apple shares the same concerns.
