Has anyone else bought and tried the new Google Glasses? I love them! I became a big photographer. I’m snapping pictures and videos everywhere I go and am constantly online.
They are still being invented, however they raise all sorts of questions, both in terms of halacha and the “real world”. The prototypes are obvious, but they could be designed so it wouldn’t be obvious who has one one.
Could they be used for “candid” photography, which raises all sorts of privacy issues? Could they be used to view something inappropriate without anyone know what you are looking at?
They’re pretty awesome for dates. My friends and I all date the same girl; one of us goes out with her wearing the glasses, and just asks questions for all of us. They send me texts saying “ask her about which seminary she went to; ask her about her job; ask her about school; ask her about the weather; ask her if she’s been to this lounge before; ask her if she thinks the couple over there is engaged or on a date also; etc”.
I got them and I have too say so far I have been very disappointed. It is basically Google now in a pair of glasses with a webcam attached and the speech recognition hardly works. The idea is theory is good but Google Glass as a product is awfull.
