A future of global surveillance seems inevitable at this rate, but society will evolve means to thwart it.

Wearing masks in public is already a norm in some East-Asian countries, and it’s a form of fashion as well [0]. Just add glasses to that, which will become common if AR smartglssses take off.

Maybe we’ll see people walking around in fashionable neo-tribal’ish masks [1] (as decorations around AR glasses) to hinder intrusive face/retina scanning.
