    Ray-Ban Stories: These are Facebook’s first mass-market smart glasses

    Ray-Ban Stories: These are Facebook’s first mass-market smart glasses | Ars Technica

    The glasses have two front-facing cameras, each at 5 megapixels. Users can take a photo either with a touch gesture or with a "Hey Facebook" voice command. So people in the room can tell that pictures or video are being taken, a white LED on the front of the frames will light up. Videos can be as long as 30 seconds.

    Photos and videos taken with the glasses are sent to a new smartphone app called Facebook View, which offers essential editing and sharing capabilities. In addition to photo and video capture, the glasses allow you to take calls or listen to music and podcasts or with built-in speakers and microphones.

    I see this as a violation of privacy unless people are notified that they are being recorded.

    In the article it says that the glasses light a white LED to let others know the glasses are filming.
    But in the daytime in a crowd, who would ever notice some teeny 1-2mm LEDs.

    Legally in court of Canada it would have to make a "click" sound "That everyone can ear at the moment it starts recording" (as enforced here by Apple devices) and the video would have audio removed to be receivable.

    Now it's Facebook glassholes sneaking videos instead of Google glassholes.

    I love the outrage

    You folks must blow a gasket every time you walk down the street and are captured by cctv, a doorbell or any of the millions of people walking around with their phones under their noses taking pictures.

    Yeah. It's not like we aren't on candid camera 24/7 anyway.
