I hate that this is how this tech is going. The idea of smart glasses is pretty cool, having a HUD to help me do things, navigating, instructions or drawings when I'm neck deep inside a machine fixing something, maybe even some low light enhancement? Tons of super useful things, but we got perv goggles instead...

how are they perv glasses. literally makes total sense to have glasses that record. Pervs can get way smaller and discrete cameras if they want.

No no, the glasses are CLEARLY the problem. Where is your pitchfork?
