These Smart Glasses Will Read Your Emotions and Watch What You Eat
A new type of smart glasses from Emteq Labs have cameras pointed inwards, aiming to track your life and quantify how you’re feeling—and what you’re eating.
A real cynic might even presume Emteq’s announcement today is meant to drum up press—like, say, this article—to catch the eye of one tech giant (ahem, Meta) or another (ah-um, Apple). Strand envisions therapy sessions where instead of a patient coming in and being encouraged to share details about stressful situations or anxious moments, the therapist might already have a readout of their emotional state over the past week and be able to point out problem areas and inquire about them. Jodi Halpern, a bioethics researcher at UC Berkeley who is writing a book about empathy, says that even if such tech works the way it is intended, people should be careful about how much they choose to offload to their hardware.
