Quite some years ago, when Google Glass was "the next big thing", we published similar concerns @theconvo-bot.bsky.social. theconversation.com/wearable-com... I think there's still interesting psychology to be done about how people get used to monitoring devices like this.
Wearable computing and privacy invasions you might want to think about now
Are you being recorded? Thanks to the ubiquity of CCTV and camera phones, the answer is more than ever before likely to be “Yes”. Add to this the growth of wearable technology such as Google Glass and...

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com · last mo.Smart glasses with cameras and microphones built-in and facial recognition to come are the latest fad in surveillance tech. For this.weekinsecurity.com, I wrote about why the backlash against smart glasses — aka "pervert glasses" — is justified from a security and privacy perspective. Please share!
A massive thank you to everyone who has helped organise, attend, present and make #EPSEssex a great meeting and helping to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the EPS! Safe journey home to all! 😃

I guess that it's OK for a reviewer to write "the author does not seem to know the literature" but you kind of have to give some citations, yeah? At least tell us what it is that you think we don't know!

I don't think it is OK to desk reject a paper with no comments or feedback at all. If you have time to read/skim the paper and make a judgement, then you have time to write a sentence explaining why you don't want it (and that stuff is invaluable for ECRs)
We withdrew a manuscript from review at a journal today. I think that is the first time I've done that, but the review process was hugely delayed and unhelpful.
Looking forward to speaking in tomorrow's pre-conference workshop on eye-tracking @escop.bsky.social in Sheffield #ESCOP2025
