    They don’t really look “hidden” tbqh, the lenses are quite obvious.

    I’m wondering if these could be useful to me as a prosopagnostic.

      Try standing 10 ft / 3m away, in a crowd, and not actually expecting anybody to have them. Would you notice?

        I guess, but by that standard having a mobile phone in a shirt pocket is also hidden.

          Yes, yes it is. The glasses makes it just a tiny bit easier to covertly record stuff.

        Well now we’re already expecting people to have them, so yeah I think people will notice.
