MSC Cruises is the latest one to ban smart glasses and this may be becoming more and more of a problem for people using them.

Previously in Egypt tourists have reportedly been blocked from going to see the pyramids and some museums there also ban them. Saudi Arabian authorities apparently confiscate them at the airport from arriving passengers. Anyone who needs a prescription needs to consider that they may not be able to use them everywhere.

    Plus those devices are more suspicious when pointed at you

    Can’t say I agree.
    I have seen one of the pens and it’s hard to realise it has a camera. Also, it’s probably made for the times when people used to normally keep a pen in their breast-pocket.

    That’s a pretty significant difference.

    For me, honestly that’s a good enough difference and I would be fine if someone were just keeping a camera on their head while in public. Although my expectations might change in a shared restroom with urinals.


    Also, would you want a similar response to someone using AR glasses, not made by (and not selling video data to) any corporation?
