Since Meta launched its AI-powered Ray-Bans, which can record video and audio as well as make calls, there’s been a growing privacy backlash against the specs, with many dubbing them “pervert” glasses after they were reportedly used to film people without their consent. (...)

Never one to miss an opportunity to take a public swipe at big tech, the alternative search engine DuckDuckGo has now launched a new range of glasses in collaboration with the San Diego firm Knockaround (...)

The twist: with their permanent offline mode, zero cameras and mics, no AI or electronics of any kind, the “California cool” Paso Robles have been hailed as "the world's most innovative anti-surveillance sunglasses," AKA "Normal F***ing Sunglasses” according to Knockaround’s website.

From a privacy concern, maybe anti-body cam/FLOCK camera, sunglasses could be cool.

They make t shirts that have anti facial recognition images on it to confuse a camera, that paired with a set out sunglasses that maybe had a bright IR sensor could be cool. Undetectable to human eyes but could maybe blind the meta crap.
