Smart glasses, billed as the future of wearable technology, are having a resurgence. But there are concerns these products are being used to harm, humiliate, and infringe on the privacy of women.
Oonagh says she was filmed by a man using smart glasses, which have inbuilt cameras, without her knowledge or consent. The video was then posted on social media, getting about a million views and hundreds of comments - many of them sexually explicit and derogatory.
"I had no idea it was happening to me, I didn't consent to that being posted, I didn't consent to being secretly filmed," Oonagh said.
"It really freaked me out - it made me feel afraid to go out in public."
After sunbathing on the beach in Brighton last June, Oonagh says she was approached by a man wearing sunglasses.
He asked her name, where she was from and whether he could have her number.
She politely declined, saying that she had a boyfriend.
A few weeks later, she was sent a video on TikTok. It was a recording of the interaction she had had with the man, filmed from his perspective. She realised he had been filming her with his glasses.
Smart glasses enable the wearer to access information and apps similar to those on a smart phone including using maps, listening to music, and recording video.

How do you feel about the use of smart glasses and other covert body-worn cameras?
I am kind of on the fence about this, on the one hand I can see like above how it might have the potential to be misused by massive pervs out there. But on the other hand, if they are used for legit purposes it can be a great tool to help personal victims of crime receive justice - if the owners or third-party within shot happen to be victims of street crime the evidence can be reported to the police (and/or posted online Reddit). I feel if more people are made aware of this, it may encourage more orderly public behaviour in general.
