I am just confused as to why taking off your Glass will not be similar to other common social bathroom courtesies like putting away your cell phone, or utilizing family bathrooms, etc. Once a stigma is in place at the social level, it will work itself out. If not, there is always the direct approach of just asking someone to put it away.

Do you take off your normal glasses while using the bathroom?

  Do you need your Google Glasses to see?

  Do normal glasses have a camera attached? Bathrooms are a place of privacy.

    Do normal glasses have a camera attached? If you're talking about prescription lenses, the answer to your question is yes. Glass is designed to be modular, and Glass is intended to accommodate those who wear conventional glasses for vision correction, giving them the option to use glass with their prescription lenses.

it is proper to remove them or place them atop your head like you do with sunglasses indoors. also, i doubt people were doing anything but staring down or straight ahead in the urinals. it would be weird for someone without glass to be doing what he describes in a bathroom. just saying..

I'm just ducking in to take a leak; removing the glasses would double the time it takes, and the dev pair I tried didn't seem to fold up like regular glasses to slip in a pocket, so what, I'm expected to carry around a Glass purse to stash them in? I'd rather they implemented something to make it very clear when Glass is recording--make the big plastic bit that holds the lens glow red, something like that--so everyone would take the signal that I am not recording them, just happen to be wearing it. Also, we already have a social convention in place for this. You don't look at, speak to, or otherwise acknowledge other people in the bathroom, except so as to give them appropriate space. Everyone in there is taking care of private functions; if everyone follows the convention, we all get a maximally private experience. Convention already dictates that you shouldn't be rubbernecking at the other urinals; even talking to someone else while at the urinal gets you labeled as "that guy" among the people I know.
