ABSTRACT
Google Glass (Glass)—a wearable computer with a heads-up display (HUD)—has raised significant privacy concerns following Google’s soft launch of the project within a small group of early adopters, engineers, and journalists. The hardware, which allows users to take photos and videos or live-stream to the Internet through the glasses’ interface, has already been banned from a number of cafes, casinos, bars, and movie theaters. 1 Footage of an arrest in progress was also captured through Google Glass, sparking further debate about the ramifications of this new technology. 2 Unsurprisingly, the publicity has caught the attention of regulators across the world, and Google has had to formally respond to questions from government and data protection authorities about the impact of this new technology.
