The Backlash Is So Strong That People With "Pervert Glasses" Are Afraid to Use Them in Public

7. "...but this sort of thing is a clear invasion of privacy."

Is it, though? There's no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place. That's been the case for decades now. If you're wandering around the mall or walking around on a public street, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy and people can video record you to their hearts' content.

Furthermore, you cannot legally demand that they stop recording or delete anything that's already been recorded. Your only recourse is to leave unless the owner of the property asks them to stop or tells them to leave. In the case of a fully public space like a street, there's no owner to do so.

There are already laws prohibiting the recording of private phone calls without permission

Those laws vary significantly from state to state. Some states are one-party consent states, meaning that if I'm on a call with you I can record it without your knowledge and that's perfectly legal. Other states are two-party consent states, meaning that I'd have to inform you that I'm recording the call and you'd have to agree to be recorded.

...secretly bugging someone's home or office, or placing hidden cameras inside restrooms and other private places.

This is significantly different than recording in public because these spaces (homes, offices, restrooms) have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

...these glasses will only be regulated...

Don't hold your breath. Existing laws already address everything these glasses can do, as noted above.
