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.

Ok, but 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.

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

[–] ilmagico@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 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.

stylish

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

WTF, this bargain-bin-level design.
