澳大利亚零售商Kmart销售的Anko品牌相机眼镜已在全国范围内售罄[1]。这款眼镜标价89澳元，能够拍摄照片和录制视频，价格远低于Meta Ray-Bans的337澳元起价[1]。
该产品因隐私隐患引发广泛担忧[1]。数字权利倡导组织Digital Rights Watch政策负责人Tom Sulston警告称，"智能眼镜相机是隐私噩梦，说明澳大利亚隐私法跟不上技术变化"[1]。专家们担心这类设备可能被滥用于未经同意录制他人，特别是在隐私预期较高的场所进行非法录制和骚扰[1]。
针对此类产品的安全隐患，已有多方采取行动[1]。纽约法院、美国空军和一次黑客大会已禁止佩戴这些眼镜[1]。Meta公司上月推出更新，禁用LED灯被干扰时的摄像功能[1]。与此同时，Meta品牌的Ray-Ban眼镜已在全球售出超过700万副[1]。
Kmart Australia has completely sold out of Anko-branded camera glasses priced at 89 Australian dollars, which enable users to capture photos and record video [1]. The affordable eyewear has drawn sharp criticism from privacy advocates, who warn that the devices pose significant risks due to their ability to record people without consent [1]. Tom Sulston, policy director at Digital Rights Watch, characterized smart eyeglass cameras as a "privacy nightmare," arguing that Australian privacy laws have failed to keep pace with technological advancement [1].
The rapid depletion of Anko inventory reflects strong consumer demand for low-cost wearable cameras, particularly given their significantly lower price point compared to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, which start at 337 Australian dollars [1]. Privacy experts have expressed concern that such devices could be exploited for harassment and illegal recording, especially in settings where users have heightened privacy expectations [1]. The concerns are not merely theoretical: New York courts, the U.S. Air Force, and participants at a hacking conference have all prohibited the wearing of camera-equipped glasses [1]. In response to safety concerns, Meta recently released an update that disables the camera function when the device's LED indicator light is disrupted [1].
