    If I spot one in a public place, and I start filming them while shouting “Are you recording a video right now with these smartglasses?”, I guess that would be totally fine, right? No reason to make them uncomfortable, because they’ll be in their right.

        It’s absolutely legal to film them as you said, and it is absolutely legal to speak up. If that makes them uncomfortable, that’s entirely their problem, isn’t it?

          Making people uncomfortable is not solely the problem of that person, no, but it would be entirely inappropriate for the glasses-wearer to respond by punching the person making them feel uncomfortable.

          I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say here. “Being made to feel uncomfortable” is on a completely different level than being physically assaulted.

            You’ll understand when you’ll be surrounded by parents wondering if you’re secretly filming or taking pics of their kids.

              And why will they think that? Is it because I may have a phone in my hand, because I do use a phone quite a lot, and they can be used to film people.

                If you orientate your phone with cameras towards people, they’ll assume you’re taking pics or filming. Otherwise, it’s a general purpose device.

                If you wear creep-glasses designed to secretly take pics or film people, a lot of people will assume you’re secretly taking pics or filming.

                  The glasses aren’t designed to secretly take pictures. They’re designed to make it quite hard to take pictures secretly, by having an LED that comes on to notify others, and a mechanism to detect if the LED is covered.

                  So, if the light isn’t on, and if someone wearing them isn’t constantly rotating their head to look at you, are still beating them up?

                    Yeah, I’m totally going to chill because I can’t see a LED… not. Hell yes, I’m still going to call out creep-glass wearers.
