It's not constantly recording, it's recording when you decide to start recording. In the same way that anybody sitting down holding their phone could actually be recording you.
I swear, Glass gets more FUD on this site than any other product.
- mcintyre1994 14y agoI'm aware of that, but it is much less obvious whether glass is recording or not than whether a phone is. If somebody is pointing their phone's camera at you, they could be recording you - that's quite noticeable. Glass won't necessarily have any visible signs that it is recording.
- Shooti 14y agoIt's been confirmed that it has a blinking red light when it enters record mode. Doesn't make your point any less valid though since its the perception that counts. It'll be interesting to see if it can get over that wall.
- zacharycohn 14y agoUh... yes it does? It has a light that blinks on the front when it's recording. Factchecking is cool, yo.
- msabalau 14y agoIn addition to the light that others have noted, it's hard to understand why one assume that staring at someone is not obvious, but ubiquitous experience of having someone fumbling with a phone nearby is "quite noticeable" as a signal that you could be recorded.
- GHFigs 14y agoIn the same way that anybody sitting down holding their phone could actually be recording you. Yes, it's just like that, and that's the problem. That's creepy. Putting it on your face doesn't make it less creepy, even if you're a Google-sanctioned celebrity normalizing unit. I swear, Glass gets more FUD on this site than any other product. You're commenting on a submission about people winning the right to purchase the product in question. What you call FUD is a naught but an anthill in the path of an overwhelming hype machine.
