4 daysOh shit, people think we’re creepy like flock. Let’s do what flock is working towards and drop the camera and move towards EVERY OTHER FORM OF FUCKING TRACKING AND SELLING DATA.

comes with wifi/lidar to "monitor surroundings as home wifi has been shown to form a picture based on the singals around the wifi hotspot.

Great! A product for people who may not be perverts but like sucking the cock of an evil corporation!
I wonder what the fallout from all this failed voyerism tech will be? What unexpected uses will we find for this spy shit? Ruview already looks like an interesting alternative to mmWave security sensors. What else can we come up with?

If it wasn’t going through their servers, i could stand to use it for drone flights, augmented reality GPS directions, monitoring shit at work, I’d not even pull my phone out of my pocket if I could get away wiht it.
Exactly. Once they give up on it we’ll see copycat tech without their restrictions.

They’re just turning them into sunglasses lol! I’m sure they’ll find a way to make lense shading a subscription though.
Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it’s not the first time they’ve heard that.
I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.

FYI, Ray Ban is just a brand name owned by the same company that owns most well known glasses brands.
Once you realize how consolidated the eyeglass industry is its a lot harder to find truly independent brands.

This is still surveillance, just with audio instead of video.
But this actually creates a new problem: wearers of pervert glasses have plausible deniability. “Are you filming me?” “Who, me? Oh no, these ones don’t have cameras. Trust me”.

Don’t forget logging every Bluetooth and WiFi device (mobile and hardwired) with location and timestamp and sending it all to meta for “tailoring ads”

Kinda makes a body want to figure out some sort of RPi+battery+automated exploit doodad to throw in one’s backpack to confuse/brick/pwn the creeperShades

I don’t get the hate, I don’t have a set but for action sports and stuff these seem great. Video is legal in public and it’s not hard to spot camera glasses

You can also take any flagship smartphone with a wide-angle lens and aim it down at 45 degrees, video content straight ahead, and unwarp/crop it in software. Ever since the advent of the smartphone camera, people have been voyureing.
It does make problems, it makes the creeps a little more brazen. There are assholes going on dates with that shit, and there are people defeating the camera light. It feels creepier to the masses because it’s no longer surreptitious, but it’s only not blaringly obvious like holding a phone up (which they wrongly assume voyeurs are doing.

it’s how people are choosing to use it, it’s more stealthly that most people think, they aren’t THAT obvious, they really need some kind of very clear ‘this is a recording camera’ tell that can’t be turned off, no one who wants to do legit things with it would care. like how you can’t mute shutter sounds on phones sold in Japan.
like how you can’t mute shutter sounds on phones sold in Japan.
Except by downloading any of hundreds of camera apps. The only non-mutable sound is on the phone’s native camera.

Video is not legal in public in some countries. In Germany, for example, it is illegal to film people on the street.
If you’re recording a building or something, and there are incidental people, that’s fine, but with these glasses you’re walking around pointing the camera directly at people.
Regardless, even where it’s legal, most people wouldn’t know how to recognize them. They’re not obvious. Which is how people have gotten away with wearing them to film children changing, and the giveaway was that the guy was following and staring at the children, not the glasses. https://www.wcvb.com/article/mark-sullivan-new-charges-boston-common/73790219

Prob shouldn’t be sold in germany then 🤷♂️ here in the USA it’s legal, every business has their own security cameras, as long as the government isint aggregating the video and using the data for mass surveillance I’m fine with it. My buddy has a pair we use to record our flights when we fly our aircraft together, it gets some really good footage honestly in a way that you don’t have to think about where to aim the camera or be something else to distract your focus, very important when flying a plane your hands are usually full. I think some of the interactions recorded with them as well from the first amendment auditors is fucking hilarious too
My favourite part of this is that Zuck was so out of ideas that he tried to reinvent Google Glass at great expense and is running into exactly the same social brick wall that project did.

To be fair, people have become more stupid / subservient, to the point I can see why someone would think “let’s try that again”.
they are creep glasses with hidden cameras that record people in public and can use AI to identify people and find their social medias and shit at a glance.
supposed to have an LED that indicates when the cameras on, but there is a big underground industry of disabling the LED without disabling the camera so creepers can record without people knowing.
also facebook gets a copy of everything you see and do, which is especially problematic in bathrooms, in doctors offices, etc.
Big creepy pervert stalker stuff.
