Eh, ok. And how will this work exactly?
The glasses will record everyone, send their faces to a third party or government server…
(to check 'blur or not, of course, of course, nothing else. And then we’ll delete them again - pinky promise!)
Ah yes. For privacy.
This could be done on the device, for example the Android app ObscuraCam has automatic face detection.

We all need to normalize walking out of meetings and other social engagements when we see these in public. Make them feel weird for wearing it. If in a professional setting: “I’m sorry I’m not comfortable proceeding with this conversation / meeting while being recorded”… “They arnt recording”…“There is no way for me to fully verify that. I would be happy to continue if they are put away, otherwise we will need to postpone.”
And then stick to your boundaries.
The pervert glasses will first run object detection, detect your face and then blur it.
Soooooo…
Alternative suggestion: they should be banned.
Has there ever been any intelligent thought coming from Australian governments/politicians/authorities that has anything to do with technology? Just wondering because isn’t this the same country where a leading politician once said that the laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only laws that apply in Australia are those of Australia…
Hint: Something like this can only be enforced if you ban smart glasses on which the user can install any software they like (e.g. free and open source software). And if you go down that route, what is stopping governments from doing the same thing to other computers too?
Very, very few Aussie politicians have ever understood technology to a degree necessary to legislate about it. We’ve had a handful of independent Members and Senators who show real interest and understanding (like former AFL legend David Pocock) but they’re definitely an extremely small minority. We produce some amazing technologies, especially medical tech and quantum computing where we’re world-leading, but our best and brightest very rarely ever end up in government. As an Aussie tech and privacy enthusiast it can be supremely frustrating.
Oooor… hear me out. Ban smart glasses, excepting with very limited uses for helping disabled folks
Maybe we could just blur the vision of all the users
Ah yes, make them useless for filming police abuse, great idea.
Someone will make a hack to unblur faces and it’ll be back to square 1.
You think it can not recognize your walk or voice or what?
