I have no problem with these devices in specialty professional fields, but an invisible camera constantly directed out and controlled by individuals who I do not know at every corner in society sounds like a dystopia. The "people taking out their phones in public whenever something happens, and even when not" is bad enough, but at least I am aware that someones taking pictures.
Also, do you really expect these glasses to somehow disable themselves when they're in a non-public setting? The moment these kinds of glasses hit the market, some people will record pretty much anything they want, anywhere they like and nobody will know its happening.
This already is happening with phones to an extent. Many non-public spaces where photography is banned and privacy is expected are having problems with enforcing it. These kinds of spy glasses would make the problem even worse. At least you can collect peoples phones and cameras at the entrance, or see when they are being used inappropriately and throw them out. If cameras enter eyewear, then you cannot have a private space without collecting all eyewear too. And if you allow people to enter with eyewear, you have no idea when they are taking pictures, which makes the ban completely unenforceable.
