I don't understand how these are legal. I would sign a petition in half a second against this technology's use in public spaces. I swear to God. What about a camera you can wear in a public bathroom don't people get the obvious 'wrong'-ness of? "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

How do you feel about people walking past you with their cell phones pressed to their ear? Surely that camera is also an issue.

  I trust that people with a cell phone in their ear are probably using them to talk. On the other hand, if someone has their phone up in the usual taking-a-photo-with-their-phone pose, then I'll also assume they're taking a photo, and if they are holding their phone out like that in the locker room, I'd ask them not to.

I didn't really understand the bathroom objection when it was Google Glass, and I don't really follow it now. I've got plenty of problems with the general idea of camera glasses, but in terms of bathrooms... The wearer can't really record anything he/she can't directly see already. Is the concern that the guy at the next urinal might crane his neck over the divider and film your junk? Would you consider that acceptable behavior if he didn't have camera glasses on? Is the worry that someone might capture you entering or leaving a bathroom stall, or record your back as you stand at a urinal? It seems like a regular old cell phone would be a more effective way to take sneaky pictures or videos, since it doesn't involve popping your whole head under the stall... It just feels like doing anything truly unpleasant with camera glasses would require a serious breach of standard bathroom etiquette, and even considering how shitty the general public can be, I've never experienced that level of bad behavior in a public bathroom in all my years.

My concern is the difference between something being able to be seen and something being able to be recorded and shared later.

  I've been in a hand full of k-12 schools where there are no stall doors. You can walk in the bathroom and make eye contact with someone who has their pants around their ankles.
