Now I gotta be vigilant for dudes spying on me from their ears too??!

University of Washington researchers have created VueBuds, a wearable device that adds a camera to your earbuds. Instead of glasses, earbuds are easy to remove when you want privacy and are less intrusive on your face. https://spectrum.ieee.org/smart-earbuds-smart-glasses-privacy?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

Your weary 'net denizen

@aburka *sigh*... They kept asserting it was better for privacy than glasses, but that seems to boil down to: you can take them off and put them in a case and they are low quality images? Also, they seem to ignore the privacy concerns of other people, and are just thinking about the wearer's privacy.
