This is a very neat and approachable write-up, but is the final result really a hack? If I understand correctly, you're getting an unprivileged shell on a device you own and have paired with your smartphone; more or less equivalent to installing a terminal emulator on your smartphone, except it's smart glasses in this case.

Should the ability to own one's devices really be treated as a vulnerability and reported to security teams?

  "hack" on hackernews essentially means "I used my computer to do something". The overwhelming population of people here aren't security engineers, but rather developers.

    I considered that, but the mentions of pwn2own and the bug bounty program has me thinking "hack" is used in the security/mainstream sense.
