Well the device I have only takes still pictures and no audio. So it's not quite as invasive. (For the curious it's a Vicon Revue - http://www.viconrevue.com/home.html http://www.viconrevue.com/home.html) Initially some people joke about making sure to get their good side or whatever, but very quickly they forget about it and most don't seem bothered at all.
I think the thing is it quickly becomes not the focus. It's not like you have a TV crew following you, or even a video camera pressed to your eye. It doesn't draw attention very much, aside from the initial question about what it is. So people are able to quite quickly forget about it and act normally.
On the other had I suppose if I frequently uploaded pictures of people from it, especially if those where unflattering or embarrassing, people might start to mind more.
- intended 14y ago> if I frequently uploaded pictures of people from it, especially if those where unflattering or embarrassing, people might start to mind more. Given the history of the internet and humanity - its clear that this will inevitably happen. As the cross section of people using glass and the members of humanity grows, chance of misuse approaches unity. EDIT: The discussion on invasions of privacy were also raised when (Nokia?) camera phones first came out. People were concerned by the possibility of someone surreptitiously filming/photographing you. People did adapt and camera phones are a mainstay today. They just have audible clicks when a picture is taken. (I believe that was the mandated solution)
