This is something that disturbs me. If I'm out and about or in a Pub/Club/Restaurant, I don't want my conversations recorded.

It's bad enough that people use dash/helmet cams everywhere but this takes it to a new level of surveillance.
There are bound to be some lawsuits about someone getting upset with another's private conversations.

Hopefully landlords etc will ban these being used in their premises.

How do you ban them? These are pretty crude, they will become undetectable.

These have been around for years. Techmoan did a review a while back. Not great quality back then, but good enough for the purpose.

Google glass was knocking about 7 years ago, and these discussions were had then.

My perspective; if you are in public with no expection of privacy, you should expect everything you say and do to be recorded.

If you walk into my house recording I’ll politely tell you to sling your hook.

Ironically the advert banner at the top of my screen when i logged on was for the Rayban version of this technology

Call me old fashioned but i find it very sinister.It smacks too much of 1984.

(and here i am typing on an electronic device which has every key press monitored somwhere,........probably)

Is it a big deal?

There are already cameras and mobile phones everywhere you go.

They have existing for years. The main difference with these is they have a light on to show when they are recording. Non issue IMO.

Personally I'm not sure it has I'm just saying cameras in glasses doesn't feel like it adds much to the way you've more potential to be filmed in more places in more ways these days.

But then as much as I hate the way that people will take their phones out and literally film people being stabbed and beeten (see what I did there) I do wonder if it's helped with identifying criminals.

Not saying that makes it a good thing but there may be some positives even if it is depressing that many peoples first instinct is to get their phone out and start filming.

Fine,so now you know you are being recorded by the light.

What happens when you tell the wearer to stop recording you?

I was at a city centre bar a few weeks back and some pissed up bloke thought it was fine to go around filming other revellers for some reason to i presume post on his page about what a great time he was having.

A group of people took umbrage at this and it could've turned nasty considering it was late and alcohol was involved.

And 640KB is enough for everyone etc. smile

I guess what I meant is that cameras are already everywhere in mobile phones and the tech has been small enough for wearables for ages.

This seems more about making it easier to get content onto a platform than any great technological breakthrough.

To be fair that footage doesn't get immediately uploaded to social media to laugh at / demonise the subject
