The wearable tech market appears to be a collection of final-form surveillance devices intended to give the last vestiges of our personal data—meaning, the physical world—to Big Tech conglomerates in Silicon Valley.

Donning AR glasses could interfere with how people socialize in the physical world, making them feel less present, said Jeremy Bailenson, a Stanford University professor who founded the college’s virtual human interaction lab.

While the headset is different from AR glasses, the gadget can display real-time video of a user’s surroundings in the physical world.

They reported that people in the physical world felt less real, as if they were watching television rather than interacting with someone face-to-face.

Augmented reality glasses overlay digital images onto a person’s view of the physical world.
