It’s really not the same. One of the biggest issues with Glassholes was that it wasn’t clear they were wearing something unusual at first sight, especially from certain angles. That you didn’t know you were being recorded didn’t help, and I’m guessing that the Quest 3 isn’t secretive about that like Google Glass. But even if it is, I think everyone is going to do their best to avoid the guy walking around with that thing strapped to their head.
It’s an Android device with full ADB and other functionality. Meta’s move to sell hardware is in part to diversify away from depending on user data like usual - It’s not cheap. Especially not their accessories and storage upgrades.
Although it’s white LED on the front of the headset instead of the expected red. It’s seems like a dumb choice by some design team going for aesthetics over functionality. And if you’re trying to surreptitiously record people there are a million easier, less obtrusive ways to do it that don’t involve strapping a giant and expensive headset to your face.
Quest 3 isn’t secretive about that like Google Glass.
It’s a VR headset that provides the user with a live video feed, it records 100% of the time. If the cameras stop recording, the person wearing it would be blind.
Meta has another set of glasses that have an optional recording function, along with an LED indicator as well as a check to make sure that the LED isn’t covered.

There’s no external indication when someone is recording the passthrough footage on the Quest 3.
It’s a Meta device, I’m sure it’s ALWAYS recording. Whether or not the used keeps the recording is another matter.
So if the person is wearing one, just assume it’s recording and facial recognition is occurring in post.

There is an indicator for when the external sensors (cameras) are active and another for when the device is recording.

From what I remember Google glass had an indicator when it was recording, people just assumed it doesn’t and/or it’s always recording
