Samsung Says Smart Glasses Privacy Concerns Need Industrywide Fix

Consumer Tech Samsung Says Smart Glasses Privacy Concerns Need Industrywide Fix Samsung Electronics Co. showcased the smart glasses it developed in partnership with Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, offering new details around battery life and durability ahead of a release this fall. The company also attempted to preempt privacy concerns by highlighting measures it’s building into these glasses, and others that are in development. Meta Platforms Inc., which brought smart glasses into the mainstream through its partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica SA, has been contending with a fresh wave of social-media backlash from consumers who are wary of the devices being used for nonconsensual public recording. That’s prompting other brands to distance themselves from the controversy.
