The Hacker/Developer says: "It's a very different experience taking a picture of someone with Glass vs a phone or even a plain old camera. Looking directly at a person instead of through a viewfinder has a huge psychological difference."
Google or someone on kickstarter should make a clip for google glass, so we can put it on and off in a matter of seconds. Don't want to carry a second prescription glass around
It would be possible consentually--Google could design in a protocol whereby, say, getting in range of a certain recognized Bluetooth class turns off recording features until you leave.
I wasn't aware that they were tracking eye movement (of any sort). This is incredibly cool, although the privacy implications could be disturbing.
A quick google search didn't reveal a list of all of the on-board sensors. If anyone knows where I can I find it, linking would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe in the near future it will be able track the rounding of the lens (ciliary muscles) so you can have a responsive interface (e.g. hide interface when the user is not focusing its eyes on G-glass)
This is awesome. I wonder why this is not the default (inbuilt) way of taking pictures. Before they made it more obvious, I was actually thinking this would be the way to click pictures in a glass.
It's certainly going to be creepy if someone who you're not comfortable sociably with approaches you wearing gGlasses and winks at you.
That would still be creepy without the gGlasses though.
It's also going to be creepy if someone who you currently are comfortable sociably with approaches you wearing gGlasses. "Mate... take them off please"
All roads lead to creepsville in normal social situations, unless the person is using them to augment something like adventure sports, visiting an exhibition or the like (which is why Google chose to lead with those marketing videos and demos obviously)
I wear different shit when I go hiking or skiing. I don't do my daily commute wearing ski goggles. The barrier to surmount for this to become acceptable rather than creepy-couture or ubiquitous in normal daily activities is possibly insurmountable for the foreseeable future (admittedly that's my wishful thinking, and I say this as someone who doesn't live in the Silicon Valley area).
- Some people can wink with one eye and not the other. With this they would be forced to wink with a specific eye, possibly the one they can't wink with.
This is a really cool hack. It's exciting for me to see the amount of activity surrounding Glass. I wonder what the sensitivity is to recognize a gesture as a wink rather than a blink... I guess a dive into the source might answer that.

Personally, I can't wait. :)
