London: (RightNow). The use of smart glasses is increasing in the tech world. Concerns about secret video and photo recording in public places have raised new privacy questions.

Users can make phone calls, listen to music, and capture photos and videos without using their hands. Glasses made by Meta and Ray-Ban are prominent, with 7 million pairs sold.

A UK agency has banned filming with smart glasses. Northern Ireland’s Comic Con organizers have also imposed restrictions due to secret recording concerns.

Women’s rights organizations have expressed concern over the potential misuse of this technology. Experts say these glasses can enable secret recordings, increasing harassment and illegal activity risks.

It is noteworthy that this technology could also benefit visually impaired individuals. However, there is a growing need for clear regulations on privacy, consent, and legal protection.
