What are smart glasses?
Smart glasses are wearable tech devices that look like regular spectacles but have built-in cameras, microphones, and sometimes screens. They allow users to record videos, take photos, and even make calls hands-free. The Meta smart glasses in the story are a recent example, sparking debate about their use in public spaces due to their recording capabilities.
