I love photography.

I've been a keen snapper of motor racing as a teenager (published in a magazine when they existed lol); developing my own photos. Now I only take my 'big' camera on big holidays.

Covert photography has intrigued me but it's a bit creepy really, isn't it?

But it's gone from cheapish watches and pens taking grainy images, toys basically, to high end glasses (complete with AI powered facial recognition) and hi-res videos. Too far surely?

This article says a wee bit more and the app it suggests needs to be a lot slicker for the push back. But it's a start.

It's a start, and a good one. Stuff like this will proliferate, maybe not as fast as the glasses themselves, but they'll just have to.

Related, did you see the Zuck strolled into a no-cameras courtroom with a team of folk all wearing them? Pissed the judge right off, and so it should:

Funnily enough @Jack I was listening to the BBC World Service after Radio 4 went off air at the back off one this morning.There was an article about a lucrative illegal live porn industry in China with minute cameras planted in hotel rooms recording visitors unsuspected intimate relations.
I cannae imagine how mortified the guy mentioned felt when he spotted him and partner while watching porn himself. The ultimate instant turn off I guess.

You see (excuse the pun), if you'd seen someone walking down the road, or in the bog, wearing the glasses in that photo, you'd think nothing more than than a horrendous lack of eyewear fashion sense 😆

I thought you could get an app to detect them but it's a gizmo!

Alternatives are available from other outlets 😆

There are apps out there for android. No idea how effective they are.

Had to stop when I saw the judges name - Carolyn B. Kuhl.

Along with her legal assessment, her name also dishes out sensible advice for da kidz 😀

I'd agree Jack but bairns these days, well, they just have no fashion sense. Not like in my day, etc etc 🤣

Do you think the images and facial recognition is then send to a data server?

You bet it is.

Of course, probably multiple servers.
But the question is(are): who's servers, owned and operated by whom, based in which countries ???
