Technology

My home cameras had some update that required the LED to be on to indicate it was capturing video. This should be required on these products.

I predict a uptick in assault and battery when people start recognizing these and get sick of them being used in public

Doesn't it have a 'recording' LED?

Remember the good ol' times when some guy stepped up in the cinema, stood in front of the audience, right when the movie was about to start:

"OK, Google!"

:-)

People who don't understand that they already lost their privacy years ago: "GASP, this means someone could be recording me!"

They must have a different approach if Google glasses tried the same thing and failed miserably.

This might actually be useful for when the cops pull you over. Or if you get bad service in a shop you'll have a video of it.

"...look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers..."

So they're rebranded Ray-Ban Stories

Can't wait for pervs to start using these to get upskirt videos.

Sticking whole head under a lady

Meh, I assume I’m always on camera anywhere I’m in public. I don’t like it and I really don’t want to be recorded. I’m also realistic and understand that public spaces are… well public.

I understand privacy fears because there’s nothing stopping someone in my private space from recording me now other than mutual respect and consent. If all it takes is the ease of use of some fashionable frames then it’s time to rethink your relationships.

This also applies to semi-private spaces. So think at the office or a cozy booth in a coffee shop. Assume all public places are recorded (because they often are) and establish boundaries within your relationships.

On the one hand I'd kinda love a pair of glasses that told me peoples names as I'm always forgetting them, or gave me directions without having to look at the phone.

On the other hand.. humans.

This is what's coming on the AR headsets that will eventually replace phones. Soon, if you're in public, you WILL be recorded by someone without your knowledge, and probably you already have been. There is no privacy in public areas, get used to it.

Now you might have an idea how a company making $0 is getting funded.

Red led is no longer required?

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.

How very Meta

On the one hand I can't remember the many people I see at work and would love heads-up display saying names, birthdays and reminding me what we spoke about.

On the other hand I don't like cameras recording my socially embarrassing actions in the first place, let alone tell people who I am. Like hell I want Zuck to know what stupid shit I said 4 years ago to that one person I won't see ever again.
