"§ 201a StGB: Verletzung der Persönlichkeitsrechte durch Bildaufnahmen:
Die Betroffenen allein treffen die Entscheidung, ob und wo Bilder von ihnen aufgenommen und ggf. veröffentlicht werden. Daraus lässt sich ableiten, dass bereits die Aufnahme das Recht am eigenen Bild verletzen kann.
Ausnahmefälle, die keiner Zustimmung bedürfen, sind im § 23 Abs. 1 KunstUrhG geregelt.
Die Verletzung des Rechts am eigenen Bild ist eine Straftat und ist mit Freiheits- oder Geldstrafe bedroht.
Für die Betroffenen (Opfer) einer Verletzung des Rechts am eigenen Bild besteht die Möglichkeit, Löschung, Unterlassung und Schadenersatz zu fordern."

Wow I never thought I'd be interested about smart glasses to be honest, but this makes me VERY interested! 😎

hey eye glasses better zoom in on tiny text so i can read better. that would be useful.

The ethics of street photography

I’m not a great street photographer, but I enjoy looking at it and finding the stories in the captured scenes. I’m uneasy, personally, about the idea of breaching someone’s personal space without implicit permission.

The matter was brought home to me the other day, when a family member asked me to unshare a photo I’d published of their child. That unease I felt with strangers seemed not to apply with my own relatives. It made me ponder the rights and wrongs and rights of photography and photographers, and the photographed.

Street photography is an established art form. It has existed for as long as photographs have been made. Or perhaps, in this context, taken. It has shown us different lives, lifestyles, moments in history… without these images much of history would be if not lost then more easily forgotten.

It is clear, right now, that the use of mobile phone photography is at least recording, if not reining in, some of the madness in other parts of the world. And, eventually, those phone pics will form evidence at trials and inquiries. Murders and beatings and state sponsored terrorism have all come under the scrutiny of the camera.

Of course, mobile phone cameras have also brought new problems: capturing people in uninhibited moments such as nightclub dancing, and preying upon both the vulnerability of the person and the predatory instincts of others. Every light brings its own shadow…

From time to time, various governments and corporate interests have attempted to shut the genre down. “I’m a Photographer, not a Terrorist“, was both a meme and an information resource in Britain at the end of the last century.

Street photography and photo-journalism are fundamental parts of whatever freedoms we still enjoy. But times move on, and with media feeding frenzies and the advance of AI and wearable tech such as camera equipped glasses, the continuation of candid photography is perhaps in question.

It may be that you think spontaneous, unobtrusive and unnoticed street photography is fine, but that photos of your child should not be published. The right of the parent obviously trumps the desires of the photographer (and, of course, I immediately unpublished that photograph). But there’s an ambiguity here.

That conflict of fascination and protection implies a grey area, and that’s what I’m examining. Yes, as I’ve said, I’m already uneasy about photographing people and peopled scenes without prior permission, but that’s the very basis of street photography and the candid documentation of everyday life.

If we are unable through social consensus to publish such images, all we will have left are posed, rehearsed, “safe” and most likely AI slop images. We will lose the connection to reality that the street photographer’s camera offers, in favour of bland inoffensive and unreliable pap.

And, it ought to go without saying now, as you go about your public lives your government and/or private companies are taking your photograph almost every moment of every day, with AI enhanced facial recognition already in use by several British police forces. You have no rights when it comes to Big Brother…

I have no answers, and I’m making no conclusions here. And I’m not going to get into anything animist (including the rights of non-humans). I am interested in your thoughts and opinions… are you street photographers?

How do you square the circle? Have you given it any consideration? Do you perhaps carry model release forms? Make contact with the random people you capture? Do you post pictures of your selves, of your kids, or of anyone else’s?

The pixelated image at the top is, of course, me…

I’m not sure that the mass market shares the tech industry’s vision for smart glasses

One recent change among early-adopter circles was plain on the faces of many fellow attendees of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui this week: “smart” glasses with cameras, microphones, speakers and sometimes screens. But then my flights home Friday reminded me that for the overwhelming majority of people, “eyewear” means electronics-free glasses.

Qualcomm’s invitation-only conference–that company paid my airfare and lodging, as it did on my prior trips to cover it in 2021, 2022 and 2024–allowed me to get some brief face time with Snap’s Spectacles ’24, running newer software than the version I tried at last year’s summit. The event also treated me to a parade of tech execs testifying that smart glasses were the next big computing platform.

But despite all those optimistic assurances and my own earlier, brief tryouts of such smart glasses as Meta’s camera-enabled Ray-Bans and a prototype set of Android XR glasses, I remain unsold on the entire concept. So, it seems, do most customers: A Forrester Research survey released in September found that 79 percent of respondents had no interest in buying smart glasses.

On one hand, smart glasses with cameras, speakers and microphones are not particularly cheap–the Ray-Ban-branded models from the conglomerate EssilorLuxottica cost $379 and up–but perform worse than phones at taking pictures and playing audio.

Plus, they have the potential to annoy friends and strangers who aren’t keen on the possibility of surreptitious photography.

On the other hand, more advanced smart glasses with built-in displays could finally make hands-free augmented-reality overviews of the world a reality, but first somebody has to bring them to market at a not-crazy price. Snap’s Spectacles, which require a $99/month developer subscription, are not there; Meta’s Ray-Ban Display glasses, available starting Tuesday for $799, aren’t that much closer.

And somebody also has to solve battery-life concerns: What’s my motivation to strap a computer to my face, however stylish it might get, if that electronic eyewear will only run six hours on a charge and therefore need recharging much more often than my phone?

Meta championing this cause gives me further cause. That company has shown a history of careless indifference to the consequences of its actions, including repeated episodes of bad-faith behavior towards my own industry, that does not make me want to give it my money.

But Meta has also been so spectacularly wrong about consumer-electronics trends–topped by Mark Zuckerberg renaming Facebook to “Meta” and losing tens of billions of dollars on the delusional notion that people want to spend prolonged time in virtual-reality environments–that Zuck pushing smart glasses itself seems reason to eye the concept skeptically. Through dumb, software-free glasses.

Apropos GoogleGlass - es gibt eine gute Warnung und Abwehr via Raspi von @JulianOliver hier mit seinem Beitrag: https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/114507960811633957

Ich finde, das ist eine gute Idee für den einan oder anderen Progammierer oder Techi so etwas für die zukünftige Meta-KI-Brille zu finden. Ich kann sowas leider nicht.
Das wäre echt super, wenn das ginge :awesome:

A matrix of private #emotional knowledge that will permit manipulation and even #involuntarycontrol of individuals, outside of their awareness: #googleglasses.

1960’s and 70’s #dystopianscifi authors were pitching softballs: the willingness of folks to give away personal sovereignty for some undefined promise wildly underestimated.

ahead of the launch of #Gemini20, Bibo Xu, a product manager on the #Google #DeepMind team, said that “a small group will be testing #ProjectAstra on prototype #googleglasses, which we believe is one of the most powerful and intuitive form factors to experience this kind of #AI.”

@stroughtonsmith Both #GoogleGlasses and #Hololens were AR-first devices and I think #GoogleGlasses are almost even more forgotten now.

I think I prefer the Google Glass concept for an AR future to the Vision Pro concept. The less obstructed the face is the better.

Which vision of the future is less dystopian? #GoogleGlasses or Apple #VisionPro?

I think Google Glasses was a far less dystopian vision of an AR future and a future I would much prefer to the Vision Pro future
