I don’t like this “smart glasses are evil” sentiment. They would improve the lives of many people. I’ve seen demonstrations of its use for blind people. Even people simply travelling and having everything translated automatically would be nice. But, yeah, going into a restroom with them on, or not asking for authorization from the patient to use them, crosses a big red line.
I don't understand the "x-ray vision" comments. Am I out of the loop?
old school 80's/90's sci-fi humor. They'd often use some superpower or new tech with "x-ray vision" that can conveniently see through clothes but not skin...
I imagine the rest can be left to your imagination on how that humor was utilized.
