we shouldn’t stop at cinemas for banning perv glasses.
Hard to police, they put them on once in the screen and have the light settings stopped then how will they know
Someone doing this is going to be an annoying prick, not worth the time for the staff to get the agro to inforce, they don’t make enough money for that
I don’t like how content creators use them to harass people in public but I suppose they can be used to record the film yes
It’s just copyright stuff nothing to do with the creepiness
just keep em in your pocket until you get in, how would they enforce it?
Crazy they haven’t done this immediately on the basis on piracy alone.
„Consider“?!
One would’ve thought it a pretty quick thing.
I was under the impression they can only record about 3 minutes of video at a time?
Virtually impossible to police.
But there’s technical solutions, IR light can be projected which is invisible to people but interferes with the ability to record.
There was a discussion about these on the radio the other day. They managed to „both sides“ it by getting someone to suggest it might be discrimination to ask someone to take off these glasses if they were prescription lenses.
Made me die a little inside.
„spy glasses“ or „pervert glasses“. – The cinema/UKCA could not care one bit about this element.
It’s to stop the recording of the film
Rather than constantly discussing isolated cases where modern technology is changing our interaction with photography, how about we actually just have a proper discussion about what systemic changes we can introduce to make things more coherent?
We currently have a system where we keep saying ‚you can do whatever you want… except x and y and z and…… insert neverending list of exceptions that nobody is going to stay on top of and aren’t necessarily obvious, but now invariably carry a criminal offence behind them.
Do we ban filming/ photographing in public? Do we change the fundamental way we look at pictures and say that people have ownership over their own image and any photograph requires consent? Do we say that manipulating someone’s image without their consent is not allowed?
As always, we’re just putting out fires rather than trying to curate an environment where fires don’t happen.
Recoding in public is legal and should be but maybe it should be made law the camera has to be an obvious one
Just ban the bloody things full stop except for people with visual impairments or other disabilities they would be helpful for.
I thought these glasses have a light when recording? It’s not as simple as covering it up,
It can be like the old days when they used to pirate movies by just filming them in the cinema literally.
Ah the 2000s. What a time. Let’s login to MySpace and play Korn through our fave Winamp skins and dedicated pc speakers either side of our CRT monitors that take up an entire room.
My mate who is a genuine big fucking nerd (as am I) bought a pair for vlogging and such. We both do a bit of photography and drone photography and he has ditched them because of the moniker haha. FWIW, they are fucking perv glasses and I wouldn’t trust 90% of people that bought them not to use them nefariously.
Crazy that meta are still pushing forward with consumer tech that literally everyone hates
Haha I remember downloading cam recordings of films back in the day. The hype around the Matrix Reloaded and Revelations films were particularly crazy.
The quality was always complete dogshit but this was a time when physical media was expensive so you put up with it.
We’re well past that point. You may as well be discussing banning horse and carts from the motorways.
Nobody is watching shitty cam recordings anymore. The people still pirating are getting 1080p/4k quality videos, and they’re only doing that b/c streaming services enforce exclusivity on what they want to watch.
The funny thing about Meta is every single thing that company creates (not just owns) has a negative connotation to it. I don’t think there’s anything they can create that they don’t buy which won’t end up problematic for humanity in the long run.
Just ban them, they serve no purpose other than to harass and annoy people.
It’s so annoying how a cool piece of tech has been ruined by nonces and creeps.
As someone that goes to lots of gigs and theme parks they’d be really good for recording the experiences without needing to hold my phone but I can’t in good conscience use them without being labelled a creep.
The only shame about this is that I saw a blind person using these and it was an impressive tool for that specific scenario. Just a shame the nonces must ruin it. I hope there’s some accessibility version made.
I want to know why people want to record a terrible off angle, washed out cam version of a movie with terrible sound in the first place? They are already there, just watch the movie.
If I see a cam version torrent I ignore it, if the person with goggles is ‚au fait‘ with the piracy scene they’d be able to get the same movie already surely?
We shouldn’t even be “considering them”, they should be banned straight up.
I work in events and we’re banning them at all shows, including ones with prescription lenses, just to stop people filming screens.
Never even thought about this, but of course they should be banned in cinemas!
This is totally pointless anyway since film’s get put onto streaming so quickly these days. Why would anyone bother watching a shitty cam version when they can just wait a week for a HD version.
I swear every year or so someone brings out a new pair of nonce rims. The world collectively bans and says nope.
Then we all forget and someone else tries again.
Also we need to get a nice offence name to stick
I’m also reminded of this set of skits

When I did my driving theory I had to remove my glasses so they could inspect them for this kinda reason.
Going to be annoying if everywhere starts doing the same.
I was interested in a pair as a glasses wearer and frequent traveller for work, the live translate function seemed super useful but after being enlightened by this sub on the name nonce glasses I think I’ll stick to using my phone.
Just put a ban on any recording device being out while a film is being played, including mobile phones.
Probably won’t ever work but sign here if you value your privacy

Just need 4k signatures more and the deadline is December
They should only be used for those who can’t see.
These glasses are just for creeps.
Seems totally reasonable. I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of these sort of glasses (beyond the perv “community”). And I find it hard to believe there was ever enough positive feedback in focus groups to imply there’d be enough demand to justify production. It’s all quite baffling.
The average person can’t tell what they are, so they basically scapegoat anyone with dark rimmed glasses as wearing them
As a daily glasses wearer i have chosen to spend not a small amount of money on a pair, which are my daily wear. I do not carry a spare pair, but would certainly expect to wear them to the cinema without an issue.
To the folk commenting in general, concerned about film piracy, they record a max of 10 mins at a time, so for a film of any length you would have a lot of clips, also the lens is very wide angle, you would not get a brilliant copy of the film!
As for the possible recording people in public, we are all captured on CCTV many times a day, in pubs, in cinemas, on the street, in shops. it’s the modern way.
Pervert glasses should be banned everywhere. In a tiny amount of circumstances these can help vision impaired people, but apart from that, these should be completely banned. The courts in England and Wales have banned them but there’s no blanket ban in schools or hospitals? The government need to get ahead of this.
Why aren’t they already?? These fucking things should be banned outright. There is absolutely no good that can come of wearing them
I don’t understand the sort of person that would want to record their day to day activities. Bit weird.
I defo think that there’s a really good use case for ones that can’t record and just use AR functions on the fly. Absolute game changer, not just for people with disabilities.
UK cinemas already ban me from recording the film on a camera inside the cinema. If the camera is held in my hand or strapped to my head their is no difference. The ban is already in place.
This isn’t hard. Force Meta to disable the photo/video functions. Only allow approved apps to live capture and interpret the image, any app not following immediately disabled.
Ban them. And hardline throw knobheads out who are on thier phone or having a chat during the move.
People seem to be losing all respect for those around them at the moment.
Another day, another s**t idea Zuck is trying to push.
He accidently made a multi-billion dollar idea in Facebook, he bought WhatsApp and hasn’t come up with a successful idea since.
And it consumes him.
