MSC Cruises is banning smart glasses in common areas (eu.usatoday.com)

MSC Cruises is the latest one to ban smart glasses and this may be becoming more and more of a problem for people using them.

Previously in Egypt tourists have reportedly been blocked from going to see the pyramids and some museums there also ban them. Saudi Arabian authorities apparently confiscate them at the airport from arriving passengers. Anyone who needs a prescription needs to consider that they may not be able to use them everywhere.

Didn't we already go through this 10 years ago with google glass? Why are we repeating this again? Businesses killed Google glass then and they will kill the meta glass this time.

I don't think Glass ultimately failed because of that. It was a limited device that made the wearer look like a member of the borg.
