Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they're actually Meta's new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

They don't really look "hidden" tbqh, the lenses are quite obvious.

I'm wondering if these could be useful to me as a prosopagnostic.

They should have used a photo from a webcam or old phone (or a noise filter) to better represent the nighttime quality of the tiny lenses. This one seems to have real DSLR depth of field. The interface is obviously fake, too. As a journalist, I would go the extra mile to take (or license) a shitty picture/video frame with motion blur (and no good-looking subject) and edit it into the supplied promotional material rather than plainly repost that obviously fake shit.

hidden camera prank videos are about to become a lot more rampant I think.

Idk, I assume I'm being watched via CCTV at least wherever I go nowadays. This may be literally in your face, but still... these devices will become invisible and ubiquitous.

Ok, but why?

Like, why??

I'd like to run a test on these executives, put everyone with a camera pointing at them whenever they step outside let's see how long it will take to them hate their own proposal.

And in a future America, Joe Hillbilly shot Stylo Man, because Joe suspected Stylo to spy on him with his funny looking (but otherwise totally ordinary) glasses.

What about adding some strong infrareds on your hat?

Now I have a fear of being filmed while scratching my nuts.
