PRIVACY, NOW WITH A CAMERA

The real news

The story, straight

Glasses normally help you see. These add a camera so Google's Gemini assistant can answer questions about what is in front of you.

Think of a phone camera and a voice assistant riding on your face.

On Nov 12, Google announced preorders for eyewear made with Warby Parker, Gentle Monster and Samsung. Warby Parker starts at $395.

Gentle Monster starts at $449. Sales begin Dec 10; Warby Parker launches in the US, and Gentle Monster in the US and South Korea.

The funny part: the camera arrives with a privacy pitch. Lil'meme has taken the assignment literally, dragging a giant censor bar through an eyewear shop.

Privacy has hired a cameraman.

Google says the glasses are designed to redact bystanders' faces from camera visuals before Gemini processes them. Those Gemini visuals aren't used for model training or ad targeting.

This is a stated design, not an independently verified result, and it isn't a blanket promise about photos you save.

For gallery photos and videos, Google says an indicator light alerts people nearby, and recording is designed to stop if that light is covered or disabled. Designed to stop is not impossible to defeat.

The useful takeaway: ask what the assistant receives and what the camera saves. Those are different questions, even when they share a frame.
