Hise couldn't remain silent in the face of the worldwide criticism. The person in charge of Hise Smart Glasses personally spoke up to explain the issue.
"We believe that as Hise Glasses gradually enters people's daily lives and becomes a part of people's daily lives, people's concerns about privacy will gradually decrease. It won't be a big problem. I think that in the near future, people won't be disturbed by someone using Hise Glasses in the bathroom, just like they won't be disturbed by someone using a smartphone in the bathroom.
"As for whether or not we should add an LED light to the camera, because this is a design issue of the entire product, Hise Glasses' internal structure is relatively compact, so we will carefully consider this point. Hise has always been committed to benefiting consumers. Hise Glasses supporting a camera function is a convenient measure for users. This is an inevitable result of the development of technology, and we hope that our ideas will advance along with technology, so that we can create a better high-tech life together. "
The statement of the person in charge of Hise Smart Glasses did not calm the controversy, but the debate on the Internet became even more intense.
Although from a purely technological point of view, the more functions a smart glasses could have, when it came to the issue of privacy, things weren't as simple as the person in charge of Hise Glasses said.
The technology media TechCrunch quickly responded to the statement of the person in charge of Hise Glasses, "Comparing Hise Glasses to a smartphone is a very flattering statement, but it's not true. Although it seems that both devices have a camera function, when you hold up a smartphone to take a picture, everyone can see that you're taking a picture, and everyone will be very resistant to it. Moreover, in some countries, you can't even turn off the shutter when using a smartphone to take a picture. This is to ensure that citizens' privacy is not violated.
"Even if you add an LED light, it doesn't necessarily eliminate this hidden danger, because the LED light isn't that obvious during the day, and there's a possibility that the user will deliberately stain or block the LED light. At the very least, there's no technical difficulty in destroying the LED light artificially. As long as the manufacturer provides the user with a camera and live broadcast function, we can't guarantee where these functions will be used. "
Many technology websites launched an investigation into the issue of whether the Hise glasses violated privacy. People with different standpoints had a heated discussion about it. But no matter what the outcome was, one thing was very clear. There were indeed many people who were worried about the Hise glasses.
At the very least, when people saw people wearing Hise glasses, they would feel uncomfortable all over. They would want to stay away from them because no one knew if they were filming or if they would upload their faces to certain websites.
There was even a new term in foreign countries: "glasshole" (glasses bastard), which was used to describe people who used hise glasses inappropriately and were annoying in all aspects.
It wasn't just ordinary people, there were also some special occasions where Hise Glasses were banned.
First of all, many film associations in many countries had announced that smart glasses would be banned. Not only Hise glasses, but all glasses with camera functions had to be turned off during the movie. There were even cinemas in some areas that forbade the audience from wearing smart glasses. If they were suspected of recording a movie, they could even call the police on the spot.
Obviously, this was the inevitable result of the anti-piracy policy.
In addition, there were many other places that prohibited the use of smart glasses with camera functions, such as casinos, foreign legal clubs, casinos, some bars and commercial places, gyms, changing rooms, doctors' offices, government buildings …
In addition to these places that were "strictly prohibited", there were many other places that made it very clear that people who wore hise glasses were not welcome. Many people even had a natural prejudice against people who wore hise glasses, as if those who wore hise glasses were not good people …
The script was developing in an unexpected direction. Perhaps even the developers of the Hise glasses didn't expect such a natural feature to cause so much trouble.
Of course, they weren't stupid enough to do something even more retarded, such as setting up a live streaming website for the Hise glasses users to stream, or secretly turning on the Hise glasses' camera to collect and upload data.
However, just the camera function alone was enough to cause the Hise Glasses development team to be in a terrible situation.
If it was just the camera function, it wouldn't have resulted in a ban or a subpoena. After all, Google Glass in his previous life always had a camera. Although there was a debate about "invasion of privacy", it was at most banned in certain places, or some government officials asking Google to respond. Google Glass's failure was mainly due to its low price-to-performance ratio, and not many people were willing to buy it.
In the parallel world, there was still a heated debate about whether smart glasses were an invasion of privacy. It wasn't possible to shut down a smart hardware company like Hise just because the glasses had a camera. Regardless, the privacy controversy greatly affected Hise's reputation, and affected the sales of Hise Glasses.
After all, the people who bought Hise Glasses spent close to ten thousand RMB. Everyone was a respectable person, who would want to be called a "glasses asshole" and be looked down upon wherever they went?
Many people bought Hise Glasses with the intention of showing off. However, when they tried to talk to a girl with this thing, the girl's expression would change, and she would just walk away. That was just too embarrassing …
Many people who bought Hise Glasses felt wronged, but couldn't defend themselves.
Who would believe you if you said you didn't have a camera function?
…
The people who bought the Lehui glasses were watching the fire from the other side with a gloating attitude.
Even if the entire world banned Hise glasses, so what? Matrix Glasses not having a camera function had nothing to do with us.
It was at this point that many people finally understood why Matrix Glasses didn't have a camera function.
"I was wondering why Matrix Glasses didn't have a camera function. So it was on purpose! Truly far-sighted! Awesome! "
"They don't have to be called a 'glasses asshole'! My heart aches for those who bought Hise Glasses, spending so much money and getting scolded … "
"Heart aches? No, I don't feel any pain at all, I can't help but laugh out loud … "
"Actually, how many times can a normal person use a camera? If they need to take a picture, they can just take it with their phone. The camera on their head shakes, it's not very practical. Even if some streamers and extreme sports enthusiasts have this need, they're in the minority. Moreover, if they really need this function, they could just buy a head-mounted camera. "
