> The lesson from Google Glass is that people didn't like not knowing what was happening. I think that is at least in part a highbrow post-justification, though I accept it's going to be more common among Apple pundits who need the Vision Pro to be a success but spent time deriding Google Glass. The instinctive reason is quite different; it was about inattention and rudeness. Google "google glass rude" and you will see _plenty_ of coverage about it at the time. People don't like this stuff on other people. I certainly reserve the right to dislike these things on a purely instinctive level. Whether or not they have to choose to take a photograph of me or not.

> I think that is at least in part a highbrow post-justification I think that the ability to record people without them knowing it is quite literally what people said was the main point of contention with Google Glass. > If you see someone wearing Google Glass wink at you, you might want to get out of the way because they're probably not flirting with you. A new app that's just been developed and released for the futuristic piece of technology lets users take a photo by simply winking an eye. https://phys.org/news/2013-05-google-glass-photo.html https://phys.org/news/2013-05-google-glass-photo.html
