I just fear for Google Glasses. I am hopeful for them, primarily since I'd like to try them, but in recent news there have been a few cases of people against the idea of being recorded. People being recorded tend to find it a privacy risk. I myself might, but I think it'd depend on the person wearing the glasses/camera far more than the camera itself. There are of course inherit risks with concepts of hidden cameras and recording people without their permission. Poses risk to projects like Google Glasses.
- AUmrysh 14y agoI think it's about as concerning as cell phones. There are plenty of places where you are not allowed to bring a cell phone, especially if you're going to be looking at or talking about something confidential. I think the same rules would apply to glasses. Both devices have a camera and can upload a recording to youtube or qwik or any other number of video services, and both devices can be used to secretly record videos. I hope that Google will take measures to reduce the risk of unwanted recording, perhaps by having an LED or a shutter/record sound which can not be muted.
- pyre 14y agoI remember at one point that my dad was having a hard time getting a new cellphone, because he wasn't allowed to bring cellphones with cameras into work. This was maybe 8 years ago or so at this point, but I imagine that a lot of places have had to redact those policies.
