#12This 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.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well before long we will have integrated prescription glasses + Google Glass. So maybe it'll just be, "please turn off your glasses" :)
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
Google has said they're working on Glass hardware that'll clip onto regular prescription glasses.

#14I 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)

Because randomly winking at people might give them the wrong idea.

#16If google glass becomes popular, I'll expect to hear this phrase more - "Please take your glasses off before we proceed.."
Waiting for the first guy to create a "Glass jammer" that kills nearby Glasses. (Guess it would not be practically possible)

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.

#19Any alternatives to the voice interface could be welcome.
Maybe nose wiggling al la bewitched.

If I saw someone winking in my direction like the author did in the video, I'd assume they have something in their eye.
