Or they found a way to hide the camera from the users and now you're grabbing video that you don't have access to or even know about. Check out the matte black lens covers that are essentially just windows from one side.

    The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones [...]

    So the glasses will still record innocent bystanders without consent, only without video? That's not much better. The shaming will and should continue.

    Obligatory: you have been able to record people without consent since the 80s.

    Should we shame people with phones if their phone has a microphone?

    Where? In my country (Spain) has never been prohibited in public spaces, except in recent years that record the police has been forbidden. ACAB

    Point being that you didn’t need to ask for consent before any more than now. It might be illegal, but who cares, really?

    Over here it’s legal to record any conversation you are a part of or can “reasonably hear”. So no parabolic shotgun mics allowed 😀

    No, we shouldn't shame people for using a device that happens to have a microphone. But we absolutely should shame people who knowingly and flagrantly use recording devices with a complete disregard to other people's privacy.

    So now you can buy the pervert glasses and all the public hatred without even getting to be a pervert. Genius.

    I had a showerthought about the incident with the gym manager wearing pervglasses - what if it was all kept on a central server, no user access with ~2 week deletion, it's just an employee-worn security camera.

    But then I thought, Deus Ex wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual.
