Facial recognition is big in the US as well but they are quietly using it and the masses have no idea

Fecking cameras everywhere, like we live in a prison.I am against it!!!!

[patrickbodine]

Gonna make my own. I already have the materials. 😊👍

Why...? This is stupid -you have cheap afordable white pairs of glasses made from plastic right there! Hardly anybody is going to buy a pair of $240 Titanium glasses.

[MartinD]

Wait, at LEAST $240? Now I know why this things never became mainstream popular! That’s pricey!

[mandymoore]

I mean I’d totally buy these glasses however it absolutely defeats the entire purpose! I have nothing to hide, I’m just an extremely private very introverted person. & walking around w these “privacy glasses” that are WHITE w some odd pattern is absolutely going to have all eyes in anyone wearing em, completely defeating the point! Stupid.

Love it! Does it comes in various colors???

[jobe]

I would walk into a spider web with my glasses on. The spider web should fool the camera. Drawing tiny thin white lines in a parallel or web pattern on our glasses might work. At least the cops will only think I am wearing dirty glasses. Those $200.00 space age glasses will scream to the police: arrest me, I am trying to hide!

Titanium frame !?
Perhaps too much sake ?

[TooltipTinkerer]

Yikes, I'll just stick with my tinted goggles. They reflect light without even being designed for that. Granted, the lenses don't have a positive linear slant, but the dark purple lenses are a good substitute.

240 $ ? this is insane..just take a few IR leds 100pcs for 5$ from ebay..assemble 10 LEDs around ur glasses and that s all...U guys want 2 sell a piece of plastic for 240$ ? good luck..business born dead.

I can sell you a brown paper bag with eye cutouts for only $200 dollars. Looks more stylish too.

[patrickbodine]

Look like Randy Savage going into Wal-Mart and nobody will be the wiser. Just sayin'.

[שוששוש-מק]

Ok i'll have 9.5 kg please, thank you

[DontKnowDontCare.]

One of the glasses suspiciously looks like a bra.

[jobychalmers]
