My NorthWest - They're not even available for purchase yet, but a Seattle bar has already said a new tech accessory from Google will not be allowed at their establishment.
Is this the next iteration of Google Glass?
Modern technology is built into new smart glasses now being offered by Waterloo, Canada-based North, formerly Thalmic Labs. Focals feature a transparent holographic display built into its lenses that only the wearer can see.
Google partner Streye is selling Google Glass Enterprise Edition for $1,800.
"780mAh battery" yeah, no thanks. I've seen what batteries do when they overheat; but hopefully they won't have a Samsung situation.
Google glasses will be a security nightmare! - count on that.
One other "big" *negative I see for people who would use this device is they will most likely acquire in the long run - eye problems with constant useage.
people will record people secretly. go into a bar record someone all drunk or something without someoone being like hey stop recording how i do stuff. then people will put it on youtube or something.
I applaud them. This just opens the door for mind control, lol. I have done no research on the subject but it seems like the next logical step.
Don't really see the whole issue with secretly recording people since you can pretty much do that on your phone now anyway. They might as well ban all phones which have a camera. Not sure if they've done so already but Google could easily put an LED light in there which blinks red whenever someone records something if they really want to make the public more at ease, though granted it's not a perfect solution.
Guys,guys, guys, we all know we will use google glass to record a womans butt/tits so we can fap to it later on.........
YOU KNOW ITS THE TRUTH! 0_0
Big possibility for this to be used in mapping basically any/every location.
Can and will be used for spiteful, malicious, pornographic, terroristic reasons.
What is being advertised and shown to us presently is just one side - the good, fun side of the story.. imagine what a sicko can do to this tech.
So we should've banned computers because of what terrorists can do with them? How about smartphones? Sicko's will always find a way...
I just want 3d holograms of sexy chicks
i want a texmex hotdog and a side of uncle bens big buck
Wow the nuts really come out every time some new tech is announced/released. Tech is moving forward if you don't like it go live in a bunker. Because in the coming years technology will be a part of us.
Biggest publicity stunt for a no-name bar. Nice job.
This is Microsoft laying down the SMACKDOWN defore this thing even gets started. Seattle is Microsoft's stomping ground, anything to slow google down.
You Google children need to stop.
This is about privacy and security.
You should be happy that clubs have your privacy as a main importance.
What about that guy standing next to you when you whip out your credit card. Now he has the numbers and your name and what if you place it down side up? Now he has the CCV and you just gave it to him. He didn't have to be all sneaky about it. You just gave it directly to him. Didn't even realize you did it. Then you get charges on your account.
So two guys from Bohemia Interactive Studios were arrested for taking pictures of a Greek military base on their vacation. They were looking to add more depth to their upcoming game, Arma 3, but taking out out cameras and snapping a sensitive location is still a bad idea.
So what happens when a whole bus load of tourists just stand outside the base? They don't have cameras, they are just stand there, looking around. Base security personnel couldn't just arrest some tourists for looking at their base. Of course...ALL of them are wearing some sort of trend glasses with Google logo on them. And the glasses have slowly pulsating red glow. Like Cylons watching a Terran Base.
This is just the beginning.
I can forsee headline's upon headline's, of the banning's of Google Glass.
