Meta, the company that runs Facebook, recently brought a pair of

and those were remarkable.
 
Zuck's glasses look normal enough that you can wear them on the street
without attracting undue attention; you look like an Elvis Costello
cosplay.
 
Here, some Harvard students have hooked it up with AI facial
recognition, and public data sources. They can look at a stranger on the
street, identify them, and get sent personal information (name, phone,
address, etc) in real time.
 
At the moment, the data is sent back to a phone app, but it could easily
be moved to the glasses HUD display.

Where is "here?" Did you forget a link to an article? I'm wondering how
many windowless buildings filled with servers are required to support the
technology you're describing. Harvard Square is already a densely built-up
area...
