Google's Project Glass

Project Glass: One day...

Could be pretty cool.

So your happy with Google knowing your ever move?

Looks good, but you can kiss goodbye to any privacy.

Skynet any one?

Those glasses as shown in that video aren't really doing much they aren't already doing. But mostly it's upto you whether you do or don't want to share certain information. Those glasses are just another device like a phone or tablet. The way you use it is upto you. I understand the whole privacy issue, but to be fair those glasses probably aren't more intrusive than the current smart phones out there, which granted are intrusive enough.

That cools cool enough, cheers for posting Bier

Be interesting to see it develop now. I wonder it they will be like integrated as a wireless device for your smartphone, in which you could talk into headphones?

You'd look a bit weird just walkin around telling your glasses to do stuff like five you directions in some parts of the country!

I already hate those jerkoff assholes who walk around with the Bluetooth sticking out of their heads.I understand using it while driving, thats fine. But these douchebags who walk around town and the store with an giant earpiece on.  Assholes.

I remember when they first came out, getting people mixed up as loons walking down the road talking to themselves 

I've got a Samsung Smart 3D TV and i do worry at times with all the technology it contains i could be snooped on at a moment,frightening.

what about people who talk into their earphones while on a call, in between listening to music, on their iPhone?

No need to be paranoid, they're already watching you.

would not suprise me....all they have to do is look at the history of the current affairs thread

Lmao. What a crock of sh*t. It'll never take off.

Who on earth would want a first hand account of my boring life?

That's what they said about bottled water....

Interesting people

Accident waitin to happen them things, crossing the road flickin through my apps *CRASH*.

Plus you will look like a tw*t, then when your eyes have deteriorated you'll look like a bigger tw*t.

Damn, I already spend alot of time on computers/internet..

There's no way I want my life to be controlled by some electronic device when I'm walking on the street. A phone and an ipod touch are bad enough.

the end of the world is here..!!

I dont know....Once they slap an "Apple" on one, load IOS and Siri into it, they will fly off the shelves. Every Apple douche in the World will be going broke to own one.

Just seems really scary.......
There will come a day were people will not be able to distinguish reality to fantasy, and this will make it far worse.
Looks like you can do what you do in a game, but in life...........

My brain hurts

They need to stop with this little sh*t and just go full out "MATRIX".  I wont be happy until I can dodge bullets, wear cool leather coats and shoot the sh*t out of a building w/ an auto cannon from a moving helicopter.

Remember this. Pretend to join Neo. Negotiate better life. Go back to Matrix.
No?
Lose an arm. Become a cyborg. Become suspicious of all robots.

Got the leather jacket..........still looking for a "Cheap" Helicopter with auto cannons though, maybe e-bay will have one soon

Quality!

Only a year ago I started this thread, they should be available sometime this year, but not yet for mass consumption.

Looking through Google Glass: Real Life Example

I think later generations could become really interesting.

Google Glass 2.0: What If We Had Glass?

Amazing technology, something tells me it has a lot of sinister applications available to it though. Interesting how it's handled, I think it would have to be made very obvious to all that you're wearing them for people to accept it. Not sure anyone would be comfortable with pictures/videos being taken of them without their knowledge.

Granted we have that all the time with surveillance cameras, but I view this as quite a bit different and sinister.

I'd imagine that as soon as the tech comes out some clever little hackers will crack it and give the option to remove all the spy sh*t that may be in there, we live in a paranoid age and anything that's in there that's dubious will deffo be highlighted by it's competitiors/smart phone rivals. The worrying thing is people being distracted, imagine you're just about to cross a road and you get a much anticipated call and absent mindedly keep on walking or someone decides that using it while driving is a good idea because they've forgotten their sat nav.

I love the clip in Biers vid with the first aid bit, deffo a step up from clunky smart phone apps.

The main problem with the spy and privacy stuff isn't even so much your own glass, it's everybody elses. People can record everything you do, everywhere you are, without you knowing.

I actually don't think that's a major issue, not even using it while driving. I think it's something people get used to. Whether you're listening to music on your headphones, or talking to someone via hands free in your car, or have a google glass on, I think people generally know when to pay attention to their surroudings, although there will always be human error.

Ofcourse Google are also working on self driving cars, which are actually used in practice already by some Google employees, and they say will be ready for public use in 5 years. That'd solve that issue alltogether.
