all AR glasses need cameras. that's how they figure out where in the R to put the A.

not really. AR glasses don't have to be aware of your surroundings, they can just place content relative to where you look, and they can use a gyroscope as a compass for more advanced things. maybe there are other sensors that would be useful too while being compatible with privacy.

of course they won't be able to place apps on your fridge, or run search on anyone coming by on the street, but it can still be very useful
