You realize smart glasses have a battery that allows for all of 15 to 20 minutes of recording right?

Hell just turning on wake word detection for asking it questions murders the battery life and it is one of the first things people turn off.

The phone in your pocket reports your position to multiple ad agencies throughout the day. Stores track individual's movements throughout their buildings and see what aisles people linger at.

15 minutes of video recording via glasses (versus on a smart phone, or go pro, or drone) is not some huge mass surveillance issue.
