Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.
Ok that’s fair. I’ve just never heard of glasses referred to as prosthetics and assumed you meant some kind of artificial seeing device. Which is suppose is what glasses are but I was hoping for a more high tech answer.
TBH, I’m also not sure what they meant. The only visual prostheses I know of are things like glass eyes. Maybe “prosthesis” is their term for eyeglasses or contact lenses?
What do you mean she is blind without her prosthetics? Isn’t she still blind with the prosthetics or do they help with vision somehow?
Glasses to help see are prosthetics. People can be legally blind when not wearing their corrective lenses.

I’m one of those people. Close to being legally blind if I have no glasses or contacts on. My dad is legally blind without corrective lenses.

edit: or there are neat things that integrate into your brain to give you sight. So maybe one of those?
