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.

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

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.

What about adding some strong infrareds on your hat?

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.

Is there a type of glasses that can detect cameras like an ir sensor?

[–] ilmagico@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cameras as usually passive (i.e. they don't emit light or any radiation, they just absorb the one that happens to land on their sensor), so no, not really.

Tha would be true only for those infrared cameras that have active IR LEDs to see at night, or lidars, radars, structured light 3d cameras, time-of-flight distance sensors, etc or anything that actually emits something. Regular cameras don't.

That's a bummer. Is there a heat sensor or something? It's doing something passive sunglasses don't, there has to be a way to tell?

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Get your own glasses with infrared cameras (they can see heat) and then you can tell who’s got the camera glasses. Well, whoever has smart glasses.

[–] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But then would I look like someone who is filming people to other people who also have IR glasses?

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Hmmm.... yeah, I guess so.

[–] ZzyzxRoad@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Remember when Transmetropolitan made this seem cool

stylish

Apparently their definition of "stylish" is vastly different from my definition.

WTF, this bargain-bin-level design.
