The killer app, the one that will override peoples fears (by praying on them) is 24/7 recording to the cloud. The first mugging/assault that is foiled (or perpetrators caught) cause their faces and actions were streamed realtime to not personal storage will get every paranoid parent and frightened wealthy person wanting one.
- linker3000 12y agoThe next mugging where the perp's first move (way after donning a balaclava) is to disable the glasses with a baseball bat to the head, or by using a can of spray paint, leaving the victim sprawled on the ground with a gloss-painted face, will also make the news.
- alexbecker 12y agoThe whole point is that that would be ineffective with immediate cloud backup. Presumably you've already seen them by the time they destroy the glasses.
- klibertp 12y agoI had to google "balaclava", but I think even immediate cloud backup would be ineffective against masked person and/or surprise attack from behind. It would be really good for dealing with police officers who go around destroying phones and other similar situations, so it wouldn't be completely useless either.
- Argorak 12y agoThe first successful attack where the victims stream is passed around as a snuff video will also happen. "Strange Days" explored that topic way ahead of its time, especially in the opening.
