Actually, not quite….Brazilian police officers are getting Gucci sunglasses with cameras attached that can automatically identify 400 known criminals per second from up to 12 miles away, designed to ferret out hooligans at the 2014 World Cup. The Gucci frame sunglasses are wirelessly connected to a huge computer database with the facial profiles of 13 million people, and as a police officer wearing them walks around, images are continually streamed back to the system, which can scan 400 faces per second!! If the database finds something, a screen connected to the glasses will let the officer know just who exactly it is that needs a beatdown. Talk about futuristic! We may not have these specific frames but come on by to Gafas  and check out our wide array of Gucci glasses!
