The Banning of Google Glass

Casinos in Las Vegas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Conneticut and Ohio have banned the use of Google Glass in any of their casinos. Atlantic City was the latest to issue the ban on Monday based on a memo from  the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, which said,

"If these eyeglasses were worn during a poker game, they could be used to broadcast a patron's hand to a confederate or otherwise be used in a collusive manner"
"Even if the glasses had not been used for cheating ... their presence at a gaming table would lead to the perception that something untoward could be occurring, thereby undermining public confidence in the integrity of gaming," wrote David Rebuck, the division's director wrote in  his memo to the NJ casinos.

As I wrote earlier, the ban on Google Glass may extend into other areas, like, Sporting events, office buildings, shops, meetings, concerts, airplanes, Malls/Dept. Stores, schools/universities, banks, airports, hospitals, government buildings, roller coasters (Hershey Park -Thing) - I am not sure how I missed casinos.
