弗莱明走到格拉斯哥市中心一条繁忙街道的拐角处，让他的智能眼镜描述前方的道路。
Fleming approaches the corner of a busy Glasgow city centre street and asks his smart glasses to describe the road ahead.
眼镜臂部的微型扬声器传来一个声音，告诉他前方有几辆停放的汽车和一个朝他走来的人。
A voice coming from tiny speakers in the arms of the specs tells him there are several parked cars and a person walking in his direction.
对于注册为盲人的44岁弗雷泽来说，这是“改变游戏规则”的信息。“我知道该如何靠近街道以及该采取什么样的注意措施，”他说。
For 44-year-old Fraser, who is registered blind, this is "game changing" information. "I know how to approach the street and what sort of care to take," he says.
“如果我需要花更多时间，或者如果我可以正常步行。”弗雷泽表示，他在二十岁出头时开始失明，过去两年里，他的AI驱动的Meta智能眼镜已成为他日常生活的一部分。
"If I need to maybe take my time or if I can just walk at normal pace." Fraser, who began losing his sight in his early twenties, says his AI-powered Meta smart glasses have become part of his everyday life during the past two years.
这些眼镜帮助他乘坐公共交通、阅读街道标志和点菜单——但他开始犹豫是否在公共场合佩戴它们。
They help him to navigate public transport, read street signs and order from menus – but he's started to think twice about wearing them in public.
“人们称它们为‘变态眼镜’，”他说，指的是多起报道称这些眼镜被用于秘密拍摄和骚扰他人，尤其是女性和女孩，随后画面被上传到网络。
"People are calling them pervert glasses," he says, referring to multiple reports of them being used to secretly film and harass people, particularly women and girls, with the footage being shared online.
弗雷泽说，这对佩戴这些眼镜的人产生了负面影响，包括视力受损者。“我们肯定不是用它们在可疑情况下录制他人，”他说。
Fraser says this is having a negative effect on anyone wearing them, including visually-impaired people. "We are definitely not using them to record people in dodgy situations," he says.
“我们用它们来过独立的生活。”来自莫瑟韦尔的弗雷泽告诉BBC的《Your Voice》栏目，如果他认为可能会发生冲突，他经常会摘下眼镜。“我已经有足够的事情需要担心，从A点到B点，”他说。
"We're using them to lead an independent life." Fraser, from Motherwell, told the BBC's Your Voice he would often take his glasses off if he thought there was a chance of a confrontation. "I've got enough to worry about getting from A to B," he says.
“我只需把眼镜收起来，依赖其他感官来导航，这会让我的生活变得困难很多。”使用该技术帮助视力损失的特蕾西·罗杰森也分享了弗雷泽的担忧。
"I'll just put the glasses away and have to rely on my other senses in order to navigate around, which is going to make life a lot more difficult for me." Tracey Rogerson, who uses the technology to help with her sight loss, shares Fraser's concerns.
“我听到它们被称为‘变态眼镜’时感到震惊，因为对我的生活来说，它们是保持独立性的重要部分，”她说。
"I was shocked to hear that they were being called pervert glasses because for me, they're such a big part of my life to help me maintain my independence," she says.
Meta，这家拥有WhatsApp、Facebook和Instagram的公司，于2021年开始销售智能眼镜，自去年2月以来已售出约两百万副。
Meta, the company that owns WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, started selling smart glasses in 2021, and has sold about two million pairs since February last year.
该公司表示，眼镜框架上有一个灯光，能够明确显示智能眼镜正在录制，但同时也警告用户不要从事有害活动。
It says there is a light on the frames which makes it clear the smart glasses are recording, but it also warns users not to engage in harmful activities.
由于对这些眼镜的反弹，一些场所和活动因担心偷拍而禁止或至少限制了其使用，包括本月晚些时候在爱丁堡举行的苏格兰ComicCon。
As a result of the backlash against the glasses, some venues and events have banned or at least restricted their use over fears about covert filming, including ComicCon Scotland, which takes place in Edinburgh later this month.
这意味着严重视力受损、过去三年一直随家人参加该活动的戈登·布朗今年将不会参加。他说，禁令对残疾人的影响被忽视了。
This means Gordon Brown, who is severely sight-impaired and has attended the event with his family for the past three years, won't be going this year. He says the impact of the ban on people with disabilities has been overlooked.
“即使我快速戴上眼镜，只是为了读个标志或其他东西，我也不会感到舒适，”来自因弗克ip的戈登说。
"Even if I was to put my glasses on quickly, just to read a sign or something, I wouldn't feel comfortable," says Gordon, from Inverkip.
“我认为现在这是一个原则问题，他们不愿意参与，也不愿意听取少数群体的意见。
"I think it's a matter of principle now, the fact that they're not willing to engage, and they're not willing to listen to a minority group.
“你知道，我们不是在谈论成千上万的人突然戴上智能眼镜出现。”
"You know, we're not talking about thousands of people all of a sudden turning up wearing smart glasses."
Monopoly Events公司在7月宣布，它已禁止Meta眼镜，以“防止对宾客和参与者的秘密拍摄”，该公司运营着英国一些最大的漫画和娱乐展览。
Monopoly Events, which runs some of the biggest comic and entertainment conventions in the UK, announced in July that it had banned Meta glasses to "stop secret filming" of guests and attendees.
禁令适用于Meta眼镜和其他“可穿戴录像设备”。BBC就戈登的言论联系了该公司。
The ban applies to Meta glasses and other "wearable recording devices." The company was contacted by the BBC about Gordon's comments.
Cosplay艺术家和表演者Teah Pearn今年早些时候在伯明翰的一场漫画展上时被秘密拍摄。她后来发现这些影像被发布到了网上。
Cosplay artist and performer Teah Pearn was at a comic convention in Birmingham earlier this year when she was secretly filmed. She later discovered the footage was posted online.
Teah，她以“Spill The Tea”为艺名表演，在TikTok上拥有190万粉丝，表示她感到“被侵犯”。
Teah, who performs as Spill The Tea and has 1.9 million followers on TikTok, says she felt "violated".
这位伦敦的艺术家说：“他故意想挑衅我，或者故意发表奇怪的言论，以引起我的反应，这样他就能拍到完美的片段，发到社交媒体上并从中获利。”蒂亚说，她的经历表明需要限制，但她认为应该为残障人士设例外情况。她说：“对于需要眼镜并且真的必须使用它们的人，我认为他们应该能够使用它们。”她补充道：“他们不应该不得不面对这样一个事实：某些人已经毁掉了他们使用眼镜的体验。”
"He was purposefully trying to provoke me or purposefully trying to make strange comments to get a reaction out of me so that he could get that perfect clip that he could post on social media and capitalise off it," says the London-based artist. Teah says her experience demonstrates why restrictions are needed, but she thinks there should be exceptions for people with disabilities. "For people who need the glasses and who really have to use them, I think they should be able to use them," she says. "They shouldn't have to deal with the fact there's been a certain group of people who have spoiled it for them."
在一份声明中，Meta表示：“我们很自豪，我们的AI眼镜让盲人、低视力和听力受损人士在日常生活中拥有更大的独立性。”声明继续说：“这些眼镜的设计就是为了被注意到，这就是为什么每副带摄像头的眼镜前面都有一个在拍照或录像时会闪烁的亮灯。”声明还指出：“这个灯无法关闭，如果有人遮挡或篡改摄像头，摄像头将被禁用。”
In a statement, Meta said: "We are proud that our AI glasses give blind, low-vision and hearing-impaired people greater independence in daily life. "They were built to be noticed, which is why every pair with a camera has a bright light on the front that blinks when you take a photo or video. "It cannot be turned off and the camera is disabled if someone covers or tampers with it."
