TL;DR
The Verge uses Netflixs A Man on the Inside to frame the cultural problem with smart glasses: they work best when they are easy to miss.

Teams testing wearable capture should check trust signals first: recording cues, LEDs, sound, and physical camera controls. The productivity gain for interviews or field notes is real, but adoption will break if people nearby cannot instantly understand or control when recording is happening.
