Kmart推出了一款名为Camera Glasses的智能眼镜，售价仅为89元[1]，具备录像、通话和实时翻译等功能[1]。这款产品成为Meta Ray-Ban智能眼镜的廉价替代选择，后者起价337元，最新款价格超过700元[1]。
专家对这类可穿戴摄像设备提出了严重隐私和安全担忧。2024年哈佛学生的研究显示，通过结合智能眼镜、面部识别和公共数据库，仅凭看一个人就能获取其家庭地址、姓名和电话号码[1]。澳大利亚的调查数据也反映出现实使用中的风险：13.5%的智能眼镜拥有者承认在驾驶或骑自行车时使用该设备，约17%的人承认进行禁止使用，包括反社会行为或未经同意录制他人[1]。
澳大利亚大部分地区规定未告知他人情况下使用智能眼镜录制属于犯罪，但昆士兰州例外[1]。在浴室或更衣室等私密场景未经同意录制他人属刑事犯罪[1]。然而，专家指出澳大利亚现有隐私法律框架在制定时未考虑此类可穿戴设备的出现，面临执法困难[1]。Meta首席执行官马克·扎克伯格在7月表示，未来不戴智能眼镜的人将处于"相当明显的认知劣势"[1]。
Kmart has introduced Camera Glasses priced at $89, positioning itself as a significantly cheaper alternative to premium smart eyewear options in the market [1]. The Meta Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses, by comparison, start at $337 and can exceed $700 for newer models [1]. These affordable smart glasses can record video, facilitate calls, and provide real-time translation [1].
However, experts warn that the technology presents substantial privacy and security risks [1]. A 2024 Harvard study demonstrated the potential dangers by showing that combining smart glasses with facial recognition technology and public databases could allow someone to obtain a person's home address, name, and phone number simply by looking at them [1]. Additionally, an Australian survey found that 13.5% of smart glasses owners admitted to using the devices while driving or cycling, while approximately 17% acknowledged misuse including antisocial behavior or recording others without consent [1].
Australia's legal landscape struggles to adequately address these concerns. In most Australian states, recording someone with smart glasses without their knowledge is a criminal offense, though Queensland is notably exempt from this restriction [1]. Recording in private settings such as bathrooms or changing rooms without consent is a serious crime across the country [1]. Nevertheless, the existing privacy law framework was established before wearable devices like smart glasses emerged, creating enforcement challenges [1]. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in July that people who do not wear smart glasses in the future will face a "fairly obvious cognitive disadvantage," underscoring the industry's push toward widespread adoption [1].
