#arglasses — Public Fediverse posts

#Metaglasses, with their built-in #recording capabilities, are causing concern in #workplaces, particularly for #service and #retail workers. Customers are using these glasses to record #employees, often for #socialmedia content, leading to uncomfortable and potentially exploitative situations. The lack of clear laws and policies around smart glasses in the workplace leaves employees vulnerable and raises privacy concerns. https://www.theverge.com/report/982414/meta-glasses-work-surveillance-labor-security?ARglass.es #ARglasses #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality #AR

#Apple faces a challenge in convincing consumers that its #smartglasses, expected in 2027, prioritise #privacy. The company must overcome #publicdistrust fuelled by #Meta’s smart glasses, known for #privacyconcerns. Apple aims to distinguish itself by emphasising on-device processing, avoiding facial recognition, and pledging not to use recordings for AI training. https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/07/26/public-distrust-in-smart-glasses-will-be-a-a-challenge-for-apple-glass?ARglass.es #ARglasses #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality #AR

»#PervertGlasses« #Meta’s #AIglasses are facing #backlash due to misuse by influencers for #nonconsensualrecordings and #privacy concerns. The negative perception has led some owners to avoid wearing the glasses in public, fearing judgement and potential harassment. Despite the controversy, Meta continues to promote the glasses, believing they will eventually replace smartphones. https://futurism.com/future-society/backlash-meta-pervert-glasses-afraid?ARglass.es #ARglasses #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality #AR

Some deep dark black holes are too steep to escape or is this an example of no one willing to tell the boss - hey, that baby really IS UGLY!

#Meta plans to add #facialrecognition to its #RayBan #smartglasses as soon as this year. The feature, internally called "#NameTag," would let wearers identify people via Meta's AI assistant. An internal memo noted the "political tumult" in the US was good timing for release, as civil society groups would have "resources focused on other concerns." The feature raises obvious privacy concerns. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/02/13/meta-facial-recognition-smart-glasses/?ARglass.es #ARglasses #SmartGlasses #AugmentedReality #AR

Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man’s Meta Smart Glasses on Subway

｢ While Meta built in a small LED light in the front of its glasses to indicate when it’s recording a video, it can easily be covered by a small piece of tape, making it trivially easy to spy on strangers in public without their knowledge or consent. As Daily Dot points out, people are even selling stickers for this specific purpose ｣
