It’s a fundamentally antisocial piece of tech, I don’t really see any way around that. I certainly would actively avoid interacting with anyone wearing them – which, ofc, just means the demand for keeping them secret increases.

So, firstly – fuck Meta. However, VIDEO CAMERA GLASSES are a thing. Not smart/AI/internet glasses. Just video camera glasses. And they’re less than $50 on Amazon for a pair of 1080p, or a little more for 4K. ***Obviously don’t be a creep and do shit like what OP’s article talks about,*** but they’d be a hell of an asset at a protest. Wouldn’t have to deal with assholes knocking your phone out of your hand, and you’ll always be filming whatever you’re looking at. The only reason I can see for using Meta’s smart glasses is for the ability to livestream instead of just on-board recording.

This will be more common than we think: using these lenses to record without consent and in a hidden way is a real attack on privacy.

I wanted to get a pair to help record some of my projects, but with how other people are using them, it feels like I’m going to be labeled anytime I take them out.

Just wondering but how do people feel about video recording glasses?
This is just what I observed, almost all of the people especially age 40+ they immediately distrust the person. The main thing they are concerned about is being filmed or recorded even when doing a small casual conversation.
Younger seems okay but still weirded out.
Personally if I see a camera, I immediately assume the worse and it’s a complete trust killer for me if the other person I talk to is wearing such a glasses.

Gotta love the image of choice here. Yeah to be honest I’ve only seen these glasses on creeps so far.

It sucks that these are used maliciously. I have a pair I use for travel. I got some great shots while kayaking in Antarctica and I don’t regret it (they were free with a prescription so the price was right haha).

This is actually an incredibly common form of content now and I hate stumbling across it. It’ll be dudes purposely being a nuisance to women in public, recording it, then starting gender war/rage bait engagement farming shit. Genuinely more brain rotting than even the dumbest 67 memes.
There was one where a dude was walking around asking women if they wanted to see magic tricks. They said, “nah, we’re good.” All the comments were talking about how women are bitches, uncool, can’t hang, etc.
It’s almost like walking around in public and putting on a fake personality with fake charisma for your secret camera content is off-putting and dorky lol. Half these dorks will just throw Rainbet ads into the middle of their man-on-the-street BS, too. It’s so manufactured and unsettling. If Patrick Bateman were written for the modern era, he’d be a Meta Glasses influencer.

Nothing really to ‘see’ here, the optics are quite obvious. Men who use smart glasses to non consensually film women are social/sexual predators. Society must call this violation out and shame (in some cases charge) those men who secretly film others (women & children) without their consent.
JFC, awful. I won a pair of these a year ago and thought “what a perfect way to film my new baby” but pieces like this have actively curbed me from really just using them at all, tbh.

This sucks. Video glasses were already a thing, but they were weird. Now that they’re „techy“ we have stupid clout chasers going out and using them for their worst uses. *Smart* glasses have so many amazing potential applications & fun ways they could help us interact with the world, but the toxic elements of our world seem hell-bent on reenacting the same disgusting behaviors over and over again.

I don’t pretend to know what the right way forward is with this tech. On one hand, I totally get the privacy concern, on the other, I worry about any laws that restrict the use of cameras in public. I do find the debate fascinating though.
Demode93 on
There should be some kind of informative video for women on how to spot a person with glasses like that, like look for a small camera lens or anything like it just to keep them safe from creeps
Mystrasun on
I hate everything about this. As a kid, this was the kind of tech I used to dream and fantasise about, and now as an adult all I see how how people who suck always take the wonder out of everything.
If you take a step back, we live in an age of incredible technology. Like if I could have a conversation with my 10 year old self and say one day we would have video recording glasses, he’d lose his shit, but ass hats keep on ruining it 🙁

Oh people are being alarmist!!!
There is a light that shows when theyre recording!!!
Tell me why there are videos and threads about how to disable the recording light?
Isn’t this literally anyone who wears these? The whole thing is a creepy invasion of privacy and voyeurism

i don’t understand why can’t they release a version with only a screen. i don’t need all the Spatial things. i just want a mobile screen on my face.

I’m split on this. On one hands it’s obviously creepy and a legitimate concern with the tech but on the other hand I’m old enough to remember the same conversations happening with smart phone cameras being in everyone’s pocket.
Smart phones have so much utility that people ignore the fact that “creep shot” stuff is still very much a concern with them. Remains to be seen if smart glasses will have that utility or if they will go the way of Google glass

This ain’t new. It’s disgusting but I don’t see how you can stop men from filming women. years ago, before cell phones with video cameras became a thing, we were told to look out for men with a Sony camcorder because they can use the infrared mode to see thru our clothing and film our breasts and down theres. It’s disgusting

The only reason I would want these things is to record precious moments with my kids. Like last night I carried my two year old from the couch to her bed and tucked her in. I’d replay those moments constantly.
But then again, I’m not a creep.
