NEW YORK: In American movie theaters strictly oppose utilization of wearable like’ Google Glass’ and they’ve now made that opposition official on a national level. Recently both the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theater Owners have instituted a “zero-tolerance” rule that bans recording-capable wearable during showings. Thus, they clearly target at Glass and other headgear. It could technically include camera-equipped smart watches like the Gear 2.
Theater staff won’t invoke the police unless they believe you’re trying to pirate movie, so you probably won’t face jail time simply because you’re used to wearing a headset and forgot to take yours off. However, ushers will definitely kick you out — it’ll be wiser to pack your Glass away than protest your innocence. The rule isn’t likely to make much of an impact right now given the poor camera quality and limited availability of wearable tech, but the movie industry clearly isn’t willing to take any chance
