Google Glass - What information Google collects through the "Glass", the now notorious "augmented reality glasses"? With whom your shares and how do you intend to use them? Guaranteed compliance with privacy legislation? How does Google to resolve the problematic aspect of collecting information about people who, without their knowledge, are "filming" and "registered" by the Glass? Are just some of the issues that data protection authorities from different countries gathered in Gpen (global privacy enforcement network), they put in black and white in a letter to the California-based multinational development of wearable technology Google Glass in the form of a pair of glasses, which includes a microcamera, a microphone and a Gps device with internet access.

Privacy authorities have expressed "concern about the impact on privacy that may result from the use of Google Glass and strong fears on the possible future use of facial recognition systems. The authorities then asked the company "a feedback reminder privacy implications related to the development of this new technology and the measures it intends to take to ensure your privacy in all countries of the world". Google was asked to compare, through meetings and practical demonstrations on the use of "super-glasses".
Despite the need repeatedly asserted that privacy is "an integral part of the design of every product and service before launch, no data protection authority was felt by the multinational and the only information available to sponsors, derived largely from the media or from the device 's" advertising by the same Google. "New technologies have always been characterized by the combination of "opportunities-risks" says Antonello Soro, President of the guarantor privacy-but of course the Google Glass leave predict major threats to privacy. Anyone can finish within view of these glasses-wearer continues Soro-might, as you know, be photographed, filmed, recognized and once had access to his data scattered on the web, found in his tastes, in his opinion, in his life choices. His life would somehow be subtracted to get into micro eyeglass or memories revived. There are already rules that prohibit putting on line of personal data without the consent of those concerned. But faced with these tools laws are not enough: we need a leap of awareness on the part of internet service providers, software developers, and users. It is imperative now to promote globally a ethical use of new technologies ".
