I've never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye.
There's fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world's gonna end.
Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it's on from the nose bridge.
I'd LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.
This is that part that's missing, it's more obvious when someone is holding their phone to record you. Phone's should probably have an indicator too....
phones should absolutely indicate and in a way that can't be taped over.
Can't it just be illegal to record someone without consent or something? Barring whistelblowing use cases. Putting it on the device manufacturers to stop it is rather dystopian and is like the age verification laws going into affect so they can shut down foss.
I'm totally down with that. exception of the police and government officials. of course, it'd never happen because it would make commercial surveilance cameras illegal.
