Airplanes are a great use case for display glasses. They make using a computer or watching a movie in economy class so much nicer. I like using display glasses that don't have a camera. But unfortunately everybody assumes they do have one. Assuming I'm a dork because I'm wearing them is fair. Assuming I'm a creep isn't.


Airplanes are a great use case for just chilling out and doing nothing or being bored and enjoying a drink in the sky.


Reading books on planes is really underrated. You can catch up on so much reading on a long-haul flight.


That would mean I was fully prepared for the meeting I am flying to before the flight. Would be nice, but alas I am not that organized.


I haven't been bothered over them yet, but I fully expect a conversation where someone yells at me for "filming", I show there's no cameras, and they insist they're simply hidden.


I haven't been bothered over them yet, either. They're tethered to the computer, so you naturally take them off when you go to the bathroom, et cetera. I try and lower them when I speak to the flight attendant, but I know that I don't always do so. Even without the camera misunderstanding, keeping them on while talking to people is rude in the same way that wearing mirror sunglasses while talking to people is rude.

It's mostly curiosity, people wondering what they are. They expect them to be camera glasses but believe me when I tell them they aren't.


> wearing mirror sunglasses while talking to people is rude

Never heard this one before. And my family cares about being rude.


It’s probably less about the sunglasses specifically and more about seeing the person’s eyes. Many neurotypical people think it’s rude to not maintain eye contact during conversations.
