Lights, bells and liability: Europe’s privacy regulators crack down on smart glasses

BRUSSELS — Privacy regulators want people wearing smart glasses in public to look and sound like a truck backing down a road. Europe's powerful data regulators have made stringent new recommendations on how smart glasses should alert people that the wearable devices are filming, including a combination of flashing lights, audio alerts and notifications sent to the phones of people nearby. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB), made up of national privacy regulators across Europe, issued a statement about smart glasses on Tuesday , following a meeting in Brussels.
