No Glass-Holes allowed at Comic-Con 2014 when the video clips start rolling.

San Diego Comic-Con International, which takes place from July 24 to 27, became the first Comic-Con anywhere to blacklist Google Glass.

"Remember recording of footage on the screens during panels is prohibited. This includes Google Glasses. You cannot wear Google Glasses during footage viewing in any program room. If your Google Glasses are prescription, please bring a different pair of glasses to use during these times," reads Comic-Con's official convention policies. 

Comic-Con banned Glass and other recording devices to avoid video clips from being leaked to people not able to watch them at Comic-Con.

Movie previews at Comic-Con 2014 included highly anticipated films such as Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Giver.

At Comic-Con, the most highly anticipated video clips are usually trailers or movie clips that are several minutes in length, that can be captured by Glass.

Google Glass isn't banned from Comic-Con as a whole, however.

The new rule  banning Google Glas comes almost a month after the U.K. prohibited cinemagoers from using Glass inside movie theaters.
