Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
It’s down to convenience. I’m already looking at what i’m what i’m trying to film, instead of just recording that, i’m looking at my phone screen to try to record the thing and not even witnessing it in real life. I’m at my kids track meet, any time i’m trying to record him running i’m experiencing it through a 5" amoled screen so i my wife can have a video instead of just being there.
We can figure out how to make them impossible not to notice they’re recording. we just need privacy shutters or to have to hold the temple or something.
The glasses seem like a better form factor than a hand-held phone, for the use case where you’re out and about and your hands are full, managing a service dog harness and/or cane, and trying to shop.
So, I guess you could mount your special phone for the blind on your chest or waist and have it talk to bone conductive headphones you’re wearing. And pick up whatever you’d like described and hold it in front of your chest/waist.
(There’s other options, the glasses just seem more convenient because they’re on your face.)
You don’t need glasses for that, you could simply use an on-hand camera, maybe a special phone for those with vision problems
You could carry a laptop and use it’s webcam too
