It was only after we left that I learned a fellow group member had discreetly filmed the interior of this shrine using smart glasses. Unlike a phone, smart glasses sit in plain sight, always ready to record, even when no one else consents. Facial Recognition: Closer Than You ThinkSome expect Meta to introduce smart glasses with facial recognition as early as next year, given leaked product roadmaps and industry reporting. These are not hypothetical science fiction scenarios; they could be part of daily life once facial recognition is in the hands of anyone wearing a pair of smart glasses. Smart glasses generally resemble classic glasses but are slightly bulkier in the arms (housing electronics, battery, and cameras); the lens edges may also be thicker than standard glasses.
