Smartglasses should automatically blur people's faces while filming

Australia's eSafety commissioner has called on smartglasses companies to automatically blur faces in recordings and provide clearer filming indicators, citing privacy and safety concerns. While acknowledging that camera-equipped smartglasses offer accessibility benefits for vision-impaired users, the regulator warns that manufacturers may prioritize these benefits over privacy protections. The guidance comes as the federal government faces mounting pressure to potentially ban the technology altogether.
