DefCon security conference bans smart glasses with recording capabilities

The DefCon security conference has officially banned smart glasses featuring audio or video recording capabilities. Organizers stated that the lack of consistent indicators to determine if these devices are recording erodes trust and invades privacy. This prohibition applies even to those using corrective lenses, requiring visitors to use non-smart alternatives. This measure complements existing strict photography rules, which include restrictions on group shots and requirements to use portrait mode during the event.
