奥地利负责数字化事务的国务秘书周三表示，由于隐私担忧日益加剧，奥地利将就智能眼镜的使用启动议会调查。
Austria is set to launch a parliamentary inquiry into the use of smart glasses amid growing privacy concerns, the country's secretary of state for digitalization said Wednesday.
据公共广播机构奥地利广播公司（ORF）报道，亚历山大·普罗尔提出了一个旨在监管智能眼镜的三阶段模式。智能眼镜可配备内置摄像头、麦克风和人工智能功能。
Alexander Proll presented a three-stage model aimed at regulating smart glasses, which can feature built-in cameras, microphones and artificial intelligence functions, public broadcaster ORF reported.
根据该拟议模式，在学校、幼儿园、更衣室、厕所、法院、监狱以及警察和军事设施等敏感区域，将禁止进行录制。
Under the proposed model, recordings would be prohibited in sensitive areas, including schools, kindergartens, changing rooms, toilets, courts, prisons, and police and military facilities.
该提案还规定，在公共场所进行录制时，也必须让其他人能够清楚地看到。
Recordings in public spaces would also have to be clearly visible to others, according to the proposal.
普罗尔表示，下一步将是启动议会调查，汇集科学、数据保护和技术领域的专家，以及受智能眼镜使用影响的群体的代表。
Proll said a parliamentary inquiry would be the next step, bringing together experts in science, data protection and technology, as well as representatives of people affected by the use of smart glasses.
他排除了全面禁止该技术的可能，称政府的目标是在允许技术进步的同时，确保人们不会被秘密拍摄。
He ruled out a total ban on the technology, saying the government aims to allow technological progress while ensuring that people cannot be secretly filmed.
普罗尔还表示，应要求制造商通过可见的录制指示灯和声音信号等措施，使录制行为能够被清楚地识别。
Proll also said manufacturers should be required to make recordings clearly identifiable through measures such as visible recording lights and acoustic signals.
与此同时，据ORF报道，已有近2.5万人签署请愿书，呼吁禁止智能眼镜。
Meanwhile, nearly 25,000 people have signed a petition calling for a ban on smart glasses, according to ORF.
据该广播机构报道，维也纳市政府上周还敦促联邦当局研究是否可能在公共交通、政府办公室和学校禁止使用这类设备。
The Vienna city government also urged federal authorities last week to examine a possible ban on the devices in public transportation, government offices and schools, the broadcaster reported.
