Norway Proposes Smart Glasses Restrictions

⊲ Los Angeles Times ⊳ Norway is proposing temporary restrictions on smart glasses capable of recording people without their knowledge. The government is considering bans in locations where privacy is particularly important, including schools, healthcare facilities, changing rooms and public spaces. The measures would allow time to assess the technology and develop potential permanent regulations, with exceptions for beneficial uses. The proposal follows growing international concerns about wearable AI and surveillance, contrasting with California’s recent decision to veto legislation restricting unauthorised recordings using smart glasses.
◂ California’s veto and Torgeir Micaelsen’s push point to a fragmented regulatory map that XR makers will have to work through market by market. ▸
