Companies working on 'smart' glasses should probably focus on making them either 1) hard to detect, or 2) hard to break. And anyone who needs to ask why should not be working on smart glasses.

Don't get me wrong. Smart glasses are inevitable. But there's an enormous social and legal dimension that these companies seem to be ignoring, to their own major detriment. And that ignorance will prove costly and likely injurious. People will get hurt over this if these companies don't get a lot smarter themselves.

I think that conspicuity is likely the key. They must be obvious, and must afford permissions and denial for others, or else society will reject them. Possibly violently.
