If there's any proof that only the machines will survive in a world where we used machines to kill each other off, it will be our inability to collectively resist the unnecessary escalation that Google Glass represents.
I am actually pretty shocked at the responses here on HN, of all places. Not because, as technologists we should all automatically love any new technology, but because, as technologists we should have perspective on its inexorable march. How many times have we laughed at definitive statements, pontificating on this or that newfangled thing, that were proven to be wildly off-the-mark only a few years later? How many t…
Personal video "always-on" cameras will NOT be pervasive in 10 years.
Put me down for saying that where ever you wish.

I just hope the tech fades with it. Not away, but into the background. I'd rather have a pen that can draw a diagram on my workpiece tucked in my pocket than I would some geegaw strapped to my head all the time.

Don't be too confident though: predictions in general are very hard, especially about the future [1].

I haven't used one so not sure how much of its functionality needs the camera. As a user I might miss facial recognition, OCR, etc.
One middle ground could be to have a camera that only outputs information useful for shape recognition, say for example, a monochrome sensor with an edge detection pass.

I think the explosion of Snapchat shows that isn't necessarily true.
The problem today as I see it isn't the camera ($diety knows tourists take enough pictures of you in SF), its people (influenced by clueless Google marketing) being smug and oblivious enough to keep the Glass on during normal human interaction.

"Looking so dorky" is actually fairly low on the list of ways in which Google Glass fails to be a usable product. Dustin Curtis wrote an excellent review in which he discusses these more serious problems: http://dcurt.is/glass
Are there competing HUD systems out there which can be worn near the eyes and don't require a refocus?
