Norway announces plans to regulate the use of smart glasses and similar wearable devices in public spaces. The government says it is considering restrictions that would limit or ban features enabling facial recognition.
The outlets describe smart eyewear as wearable technology that can include built-in cameras and microphones and may offer augmented-reality displays. Such features can allow users to capture photos and videos or project information into the user’s view. While both reports focus on the potential tightening of rules, they differ in emphasis: one highlights the specific concern about facial recognition, while the other provides broader context on what smart glasses can do and how they are used.
