i just see it like those bluetooth earpieces people go around talking on the phone with. people thought they were silly looking but now it's so common nobody thinks twice. they're always going to be associated with people who embrace technology, however they stand in society's eyes, but everyone can see their utility.
that said, i'm not gonna be sporting one until they're smaller and less obvious but that's more of a design thing for me.
i think if this thing was 300 bucks a ton of people would go with their curiosity and get one, and that weird phase would pass sooner

I think it was just ahead of its time. Eventually people will have to be comfortable with cameras everywhere. Right now, there's just phones, more or less, but when cameras in your clothing, watches, etc., are everywhere people are just gonna have to accept it.
Once that happens, GG will have a chance, especially if it can be concealed in glasses, which I'd guess would be the real release
- So many of their products "ahead of its time" here: https://www.pinteres…organicgrid

all it needs is celebrity endorsement.
saturation will trickle down after that any number of ways as long as the interface / experience is solid and beneficial.

so... does it tell you other people's power level or not?

they seem to be aware of this too, it feels like their whole campaign is focused on showing it on cool, stylish, attractive people and showing us we can have one without being a supernerd

it'll be okay, no matter how they look...
eventually these aren't allowed anywhere public or private owned buildings because they're a camera, plus whatever privacy issues people may have

though inversely there is a possibility for the best first person reporting / documentation and exptrapolating even further, film making ever.
privacy rights though, may be a social acceptance issue
#firstpersonperverts and the such- next they'll ban mobile phones everywhere because they have cameras too. /seficks
- i want the last onescarabin
- ever been to a museum and tried to pull out your phone to record video, a government building, most concerts, etc?albums

i love how nowadays technology is constantly bending our laws

what worries me is the idea of the feds tapping into our feeds and using us as cctvs.
they already have systems that use facebook as its data source, and with face-recognition (in use at the statue of liberty by the government since 2003 for identifying muslims)... shit just gets creepy

there are devices that disable digital cameras within a certain proximity. these could be more widespread if privacy becomes a major concern...

ideally there'd be hacks to get around that though

I can see owning some for exercising, much less intrusive than a watch-thingy
Who knows, those silly blue tooth headsets managed to be glued to a billion people's heads and there is nothing more ridiculous looking.
I just hope there are rules in place to keep people from blabbing all the time, everywhere. Thankfully, most airlines are banning cells (even though there is no technical problems using them and the FCC has ok'd their use....with the exception of Delta, that looks to be promoting "travel meetings"....they just lost one customer....NO talking on planes! Dammit. No talking on cells in the gym, too, while I am at it!).
We'll see, there's going to a be a lot of flops in the next few years.
- yeah but these things are so fucking unnerving, it's like people walking around pointing a camera at you all day_niko
- yeah, but that's how it'll be. nothing more annoying than seeing people walk around texting/talking, thinking they are important or have something worthwhile to sayformed
- have something worthwhile to sayformed

Heh, just read a Giz article on how they have a display on a contact lens. Google glasses will be obsolete once these are out. Mission Impossible-style yo!
