Visually impaired people are expressing concern that the use of smart glasses could expose them to public backlash and negative assumptions about the technology.
The concerns centre on how smart glasses are perceived by others. Some people have reportedly used the derogatory term “pervert glasses” to describe the devices, creating anxiety among visually impaired users who rely on or are interested in smart technology.
The available information does not specify where the incidents occurred, how widely the term is being used or whether any formal response has been issued. However, it indicates that public attitudes towards smart glasses are becoming an issue for visually impaired people, alongside the technology’s potential practical benefits.
The latest situation is that affected users remain concerned about how they may be treated or judged when wearing the devices in public.
