And do you think they will be mass adopted to replace smartphones once the technology becomes good enough or will the general public revolt against them like they did with google glasses? Meta just released a new pair of smart glasses which lets you have a discreet POV camera ready to film at all times, discreetly listen to music, view a projected screen just by looking to the side which is not observable to others, talk to an always present AI for any thoughts or questions that pop up during the day, discreetly send text messages by drawing letters on your leg, have instant translation for speech or text that pops up in your view, etc..

no concern for digital privacy.

Huge difference between Digital and Physical privacy though.

Someone wearing these glasses can be legally recording inside your home by simply looking at your home if the curtains are open.

Someone wearing these glasses can legally record you and you children at the beach.

A bad actor nurse/doctor wearing these glasses can legally save photos of you naked.

These glasses need to be banned, pronto.

Your first two examples are just as easy and legal with a phone. Nobody watches all their windows all the time nor watches every other beach goer. The third example is already illegal and if a doctor or nurse is already committed to illegally recording patients, what’s stopping them from just hiding cameras in their rooms?

I’m not saying it’s good that people can unknowingly be recorded at any time, but it is already true before the glasses. There’s already cameras everywhere and hidden cameras are already easy to get your hands on. The glasses don’t enable anything new as far as cameras go, they’re actually just way more expensive than any basic hidden cameras you can already buy.

I think people will want the glasses for their ease of use and people will get used to there being cameras everywhere because they already are.
