These smart glasses became a runner’s dashcam.

What happened
A 9to5Google writer started using Meta Nova smart glasses as a dashcam while running. When a car comes close, especially at crossings, the writer presses the camera button to record in 3-minute clips. The video syncs to the phone later.
Why it matters
Many runners worry about drivers who don’t see them. A record of what happened could help after a close call or an accident. And the same glasses already capture workout clips, so there’s nothing extra to carry.
OTN take
Our take: this is one writer’s experience, not an official Meta feature. Glasses won’t prevent a crash, and recording people in public raises privacy questions. Check your local rules before you film on the street.
