Prediction text
Young people getting smart glasses in their teens will have their entire life recorded; no crime will go unvisualized. | young people today, uh getting this in their teens will have their entire life recorded. They'll be able to go back and play back will be able to reconstruct almost any situation. No crime will go without being visualized in some sense.

- 2025-09-30hitMeta Ray-Ban Display + Neural Band launches with 48-hour selloutHow: Meta launches Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses with neural-band wristband interface; product sells out within 48 hours of public availability.Source: Meta Store — Meta AI Glasses: Ray-Ban Meta & Oakley Metaconf 95%Notes: HIT — display + neural input is the bridge to continuous capture. Fast sellout signals demand outpacing supply.
- 2026-02-11hitMeta + Ray-Ban / Oakley smart glasses sales triple to 7M units in 2025How: EssilorLuxottica officially reports 2025 Meta AI Glasses sales above 7 million units, tripling YoY, with Meta capturing 70%+ of the global smart glasses market.Source: CNBC — Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica says it more than tripled Meta AI glasses sales in 2025conf 97%Notes: HIT — direct precondition for ubiquity. Smart-glasses adoption is now exiting niche.
- 2026-06-01 → 2028-12-31pendingContinuous-recording smart glasses ship with always-on capture as default optionHow: A major OEM (Meta, Apple, Google, Samsung) ships smart glasses with marketed 'always-on capture' or 'lifelogging' as a default opt-in feature, with multi-hour battery life.Source: Anticipated — OEM product announcements, FCC filingsconf 55%Notes: Required for 'entire life recorded' framing. Currently Meta records only on demand.
