To be clear this is not a real product or whatever I would just be interested in people’s thoughts.
Do you think you would like privacy focused smart goggles? Eg: no camera/hardware camera lock, all on device intelligence, signal support, idk what else you guys can leave ideas in the comments.
I guess if only find it remotely fine if the glasses were very obviously equipped with a camera, bulky and what not.
If not, then its just a pedo cam a guy can use at a childrens playground
I don’t need another source of distraction. My phone is distracting enough I don’t need to have a HUD like that constantly.
My thought is that y’all will someday see on the news “old fucker on lemmy arrested for curb stomping some asshole with smart glasses that refused to respect his wish to not be filmed”
It would be at best, privacy for the viewer/owner but not for the viewed. Why would you buy always seeing glasses to protect the privacy of those you see?
There is no such thing as a privacy respecting camera you are pointing at others.
No. Absolutely no interest in 24/7 being plugged in.
There are no “privacy-focused” smart glasses. In fact, all of them are the exact opposite.
“I want a way to record the young ladies at the gym without Meta knowing about it”
I have some smart glasses with no camera and the option to use on device or cloud AI. They’ve been gathering dust though; they didn’t add much to my life once the novelty wore off.
Dumb question, but what are smart glasses with no camera?
HUD, head up display, being able to have information displayed on the move without using your hands.
If smart glasses become mainstream you’ll have many people wearing them in public. And you can choose privacy respecting glasses but most people will not. So maybe let’s not make them mainstream.
I’d love a useful heads up display with things like navigation, search (as in, “where the fuck did I leave my keys, they should be in my field of view”, not “what’s the capital of italy”), and something like a dashcam, where you can retroactively playback the last X minutes if something happened, but otherwise it gets deleted automatically.
And nothing gets off the device without my consent of course.
That there is an oxymoron.
I would like no smart glasses at all.
‘Privacy focused focused smart glasses’ sounds as credible as ‘your friendly stalker neighbor’.
Lets not normalize [smart] glasses.
Why not? AR glasses which don’t film the environment but just give a HUD would be rad.
Either we normalize smart glasses or we dont. There’s nothing in between. We should not play into Metas surveillance strategy.
I’d say, b/c it’s impossible to know that by looking at the glasses.
You see a rando walking around with smart glasses. You can’t tell at a glance what it can / cannot do. So you must assume the worst.
I’m with Vegafjord oakframer. Normalization will be problematic. Maybe in a perfect world it coudl be OK. But in our world, abuse at scale is 100% inevitable. That’s why I think social pressure against smart glasses is for the best.
Or at least make them “for professional use only”, and regulate them like they’re body cams. If companies risk GDPR fines, they might self-regulate enough to take care of the problem.
talk of companies self regulating always lights up alerts in my head
It doesn’t work perfectly, but if using smart glasses anywhere outside of the restricted areas of your business risks huge whooping fines, smart glasses will only be allowed in those restricted areas. The same already goes for dangerous tools and hazardous chemicals. On a PC, you can easily screenshot and -record to create documentation or help others. Having this e.g. for a woodworking technique or to show how to replace a specific part in an engine might be a huge value add. But no one needs this shit while grabbing lunch in a public place.
i’m struggling to understand how this could be enforced at all
normalize punching glassholes if you want privacy in a “smart glasses” world
I would never trust them, no matter the claim.
nah. no way to know what strangers are doing with them
