Critics and privacy advocates have taken to calling them 'pervert glasses,' highlighting fears about unauthorized recording and facial recognition in public spaces. The backlash has grown as users and observers raise concerns about how easily the glasses can capture photos and video without the subject's knowledge. The controversy reflects broader anxieties around wearable technology and the blurring boundaries between personal privacy and consumer tech innovation.
