Google's Smart Glasses Now Track Your Eye Movements Because 'Your Gaze Is Now a Liability in a Productivity-Optimized Workplace'
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Google officially unveiled its new Smart Vision Pro 2 at Google I/O 2026 on Tuesday, and by Friday, enterprise HR departments were already updating job descriptions to include mandatory eye-tracking compliance certification as a qualification.
The new smart glasses, retailing at $2,499 before insurance deductibles, feature a proprietary Gaze-Compliance Monitor (GCM-4000) that tracks how long employees stare at screens, breaks, and, increasingly disturbingly, “distracted materials” like lunch photos, personal text messages, and cat videos.
