Back in 2014, when Google Glass ushered in the future of wearable technology, some users gave Google’s first pair of smart glasses a bad name. These people often misuse the mirror camera, give weird, obnoxious commands to Google Assistant in public, ignore everyone in the room by staring at the built-in mirror display, or just generally act pretentious.<\/p>\n
These people quickly became known as “Glassholes,” and while Google Glass may no longer be something you see worn in public, the type of person the term symbolizes is clearly not going anywhere. Smart glasses with cameras, like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, offer a wonderful way to capture memories while you’re sitting in the moment, but they can also be used in ways that don’t respect other people’s privacy.<\/p>\n
Back in December, cruise line MSC banned these types of smart glasses from its ships, and now the US Air Force is jumping on the bandwagon. As stated in the updated dress and personal appearance guide, “It is not authorized to wear contact lenses or smart glasses with image, video, or artificial intelligence while in uniform.”<\/p>\n
