They can be genuinely very helpful, and that is partly tied to them being in the form of glasses

To be fair, a smartphone is also a mega corp tool... but also one you can use discreetly so Smart Glasses are just easy mode and may come back to bite you in the ass with always on camera. Alternatively, you can probably just buy dumb-camera glasses cheaper

As should 'auditors'. Harassing people for content should never ha e been allowed to become normal.

Still a threat and I'm here for it.

Saw one ad for a dude in a concert crowd right? Next thing I find is a reddit AITA "for wearing my prescriptions to concerts now?" Major concert venues themselves say no recording, what makes you think you'll get away with that? They're catching on too, and absolutely refusing service

Better look like you're filming than look like you're trying to film without others knowing, no one'd blame you for pointing a phone at a sign

"I want" yeah this is the problem. jesus christ. zero consideration of responsibility to others, or what the implications of use might be. you're a fuckin zombie.

Nothing wrong with looking like an awkward tourist when you are in fact an awkward tourist.

Do those even respect Japanese (and Chinese/South Korean) laws? Because you'll look like a creep very fast if they abide by the usual "camera in operation = shutter noise".

I agreed, then a lot of visually impaired people changed my mind. They can be really, really helpful for a specific demographic, and you can not tell them apart.

Everyone is a cop.

imagine spending several hundred dollars for the "privilege" of being a narc

Just because YOU don't feel stupid doing something dumb, doesn't mean you weren't acting like an ass 🙄

Honestly I like the idea of them, esp with potential subtitles as someone with hearing issues. Great possibilities for those with disabilities as well. But I also don't trust them to do any of that without uploading that data to shit... so I'll wait 'til there are regulations

I remember when people wearing Google glass were literally beaten

I don't think we should be trying to normalize assault.

The dumbasses wearing shit on their faces for fashion are now also wearing it to add roaming auto-narc to the surveillance grid.

I’m 61 years old, and I’m down with punching mthrfckrs. No lie. I will stand my ground.

I’ve been there since April and we have sold I think 3 since that time period?

I’m with you. Second on the list is the people in these comments instantly jumping to edge cases to justify abhorrent behavior.

A-fuckin'-men That shit's for narcs and perverts

Know what else is seeing a massive purchase spike?

Should have laws that wearable recording devices have to look stupid and apparent. Force the design to be a monocle or something

Why not both?

The ideal solution in my mind

Shit, I was going to buy a pair, so I could do photography quicker Rather than waste time and lose a chance by opening my phone, I'm autistic and didn't realize people hate them. Looks like I'm not getting a pair

I see a man wearing those things, Imma assume he is a pervert looking to record people without their consent. Then I am busting them.

Agreed.
