Smart glasses are making a comeback in India, with Reliance Jio and Amazon entering the market after Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. These augmented reality devices raise significant concerns about privacy and surveillance, especially regarding potential misuse in the gig economy, where app-based tracking is already contentious. Experts highlight that India lacks robust legal frameworks compared to the US and Europe, calling for proactive regulatory measures to address the unique challenges posed by continuous monitoring technologies. While these AR glasses could enhance user experiences, the absence of clear privacy protections may lead to a hesitance in consumer adoption similar to the backlash faced by Google Glass in the past.
