The question remains to be seen if the hipsters will be found walking around with these bulky things on their heads.
You can be sure i'll be there, interacting with my computer through a head mounted instrument in public, in my car, at the restaurant, in the club, in the bathroom, everywhere, much to the chagrin and dismay of onlookers.
I'll also be using my smartphone to interface with it in case I need to configure something.
- hahainternet 14y agoI wear glasses already. Give me a pair with my prescription and I don't care about how I look.
- danielweber 14y agoMe too. And Google Glass looks a lot slimmer than the big rimmed glasses the hipsters are wearing today.
- taligent 14y agoAnd I can sure you that many people will be there ready to insist (either legally or physically) that you refrain from recording them, their friends and their family without express permission. It is a legal requirement after all. Will be interesting to see at what point you decide it just isn't worth it.
- maeon3 14y agoThat one social convention will probably destroy google glass as a product, making It as popular as the borg bluetooth phone clip earpieces of yesteryear.
- NegativeK 14y agoMy biggest hope is that the projects take off. I've wanted POV liferecording cameras (just for the hell of it) for a while, but I don't want to be the one assaulted in a French fast-food joint because of them.
- tesseractive 14y agoI think it's all TBD at this point. Early smartphones sometimes had no-camera models for people who worked in offices (or went to other locations) where taking a camera wasn't allowed -- this was common even in ordinary corporate settings. These days smartphones with cameras are so ubiquitous that virtually everywhere has bowed to the inevitable. Pioneers using this sort of things will no doubt run into issues. But if they become mass market products, the vast majority of people will simply get used to them unless they have special circumstances.
