Look, I actually want smart glasses, but there is absolutely no reason for there to be cameras in them.
Just give me a HUD so I can follow transit directions or something. I’m not trying to take creepshots.
What really frustrates me is that governments and big business have normalized surveillance everywhere, and now big business is basically selling wearable spyware, and this is all quite egregious.
But, one of the biggest ways to combat this is with “sousveillance”, or the surveillance of oneself. This has proven to be quite effective for motorists who own dashcams, and could be useful other places as well. But AI-peddling billionaires have ruined the reputation of that kind of thing entirely to the point where even open source variants of this tech will be rejected by the public.
So businesses, the government, and the police have the right, and in many cases the obligation to record your every move in public, but you aren’t allowed to record your own surroundings in return.
You can do a lot of cool stuff with cameras. AR-tracking and computer vision are the main ones that come to mind. I wouldn’t trust the glasses from Meta to keep this data safe though.
My grandad has got vision problems where he has no vision of whatever he tries to focus, the idea of getting something with cameras, pupil tracking and narration has been floated (i hate meta so much tho)
