The sad thing is, facial recognition glasses would be really useful to people like me with prosopagnosia (face blindness), but I would only want them if the processing is done locally on device.
It would be also really useful to have a database of oil company executives and other shitty people that aren't easy to recognize but worth refusing service etc.

Surveillance society is a bad idea, period.
