Remember our first big foray into smartglasses? Google Glass was hyped like crazy (including a bizarre Diane von Fürstenberg fashion show with models wearing Google Glass), essentially useless – and created a hefty adverse reaction in many who came in contact with them. The “glasshole” was born. Now we have Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which are still large and useless, but don’t look quite as dorky, and conceal the fact that you wear a camera on your face rather well. And with that, the glassholes are back:
Exhibit A: a new warning from San Francisco University. As reported by SFGate, the Bay Area college recently issued a campus-wide alert of a man wearing Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses and filming students (women, specifically) while asking them “inappropriate dating questions.” Those videos have already found their way to TikTok, Instagram, and the like.
