Updates for Apple Glass (Updated with a number of competitors)

Following Apple's look at Smart Glasses.   Should note that Google Glasses are apparently still being used in test in some specialized situations.  But not in any standard way to interact with the real world.  One of the primary issues has been the consideration of privacy.   Is someone wearing the glasses using a front facing camera to record me?     Is there a good way to alert me of that?  Like showing they are turned off, and is that trustable?   I had noted that it had been rumored that the Apple version would not have any forward facing camera at all.  But only a Lidar scanner.

Apple Glass is expected to run on Starboard (or perhaps glassOS,) a proprietary operating system uncovered in the final version of iOS 13. The augmented reality framework shows up multiple times in code and text documents, meaning Apple is likely testing activation and application. 

Here's everything else we know about Apple Glass, including the potential release date, price, design and specs.   ....'
