When people do that with smartphones, it’s a conscious decision by the user to record whatever they are recording, and it’s up to the user to decide whether it’s legal.
Google Glasses record indiscriminately, and will also record illegally, for instance in a situation where there has been an accident, where the people involved have privacy protection. Or if you go into a restaurant, where people also have an expectation of privacy that is protected. Or if you are sitting in your car, which is also protected by privacy.
So unless the glasses correctly can account for all privacy situations and stop recording, they should be illegal. And since the privacy situation can only be determined AFTER having actually recorded it, I don’t see how they can be legal.
Except maybe in USA, where laws don’t matter if you are a tech company.
