Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

I remember a long time ago I did buy camera glasses in 2016 and they were 720p (allegedly) but were 100% disconnected and you needed a cable to get your stuff out of there.

Why did I get them? Because they were a good way of being a tourist and recording things from your POV without a camera. Also I bought many for a spy themed evented I was attending.

These are just terrifying.
