  You don't really have to know much about what it is and is it Google Glass or Microsoft Eyepatch or Toyota Lens or whatever. If you are not just out of the forest you'll see that it's some very rare in your society tech-thing strapped to your face, that it's probably expensive and it's not what "normal guys" do, which already can make one hostile. It's pretty obvious and you don't need to study psychology to understand that. But it's incorrect to assume that this thing being "weird" is the only reason to make people hostile. I myself would be hostile to someone wearing that stuff, not because I'm some swain who never saw a computer, but exactly because I know what it is, I know which company made it and what that company does, I know about their business model and remember all these stories about them grabbing WiFi traffic from years ago and all the other things that make them "evil" in some way. And I see you as this company's drone for filming and recording audio around you all over the world, and not some weirdo who spends $1.5K on useless things. The fact that it's you who pays $1500 to be the drone isn't the reason for someone like me to be hostile, it's just funny.

  I saw one in my city in Scotland a while ago, having never seen one IRL. It looks extremely distinctive; it's not exactly sleek and hidden. It's the sort of thing that pattern-matches quite quickly. (My immediate impression of the wearer, for the record, was that he was likely a director of an oil-related company looking to show off his wealth.)
