About this episode

The episode discusses the ethics of wearing and owning smart glasses, focusing on privacy concerns and the influence of big tech companies.

Hello EICustard Creams! For this week's bonus we're discussing the ethics of wearing or owning smart glasses. It's a tech that has existed in various forms for over a decade, first with Google Glass, then Apple’s Vision Pro, which caused concern on release for featuring twelve cameras, six microphones and two depth sensors. And now Meta, along with other big tech giants, are expanding their own smart glass collections, ponying up for huge celebrity endorsements and seeking to normalise the tech for everyday wear. With your help- we discuss. Thanks so much for your takes on this topic. We love love love being In Conversation with you all!
