    They’re literal always-on surveillance that can collect faces, voices and things like local Bluetooth devices or WiFi APs as they walk around.

    Surveillance-capitalism wet dream, because they don’t just collect data on the wearer - but everyone they come near.

            Yeah and after your phones Bluetooth was recorded multiple times at your home, it can be linked to you. And when it is recorded somewhere else they can create a movement profile of you. This only works if they have a lot of data collectors at many different places. Like people walking around with their glases for example.
