Man Stopped From Entering Cinema With Meta Smart Glasses Over Policy
A man wearing Meta smart glasses was stopped by security at a PVR cinema on October 30 for violating rules against camera-enabled devices inside the theatre. The man argued that his glasses were prescription eyewear necessary for him to see the film and questioned why mobile phones, which can also record, were allowed. The security guard cited PVR's policy and a notice board prohibiting Meta glasses, offering to hold the glasses while the man watched the movie. The incident sparked online debate about privacy and theatre regulations.
