Google Glass Is Back – Now with Artificial Intelligence

I never owned a model, but I think it was one of those pieces of tech where the UX and timing were poorly executed.

I have a Google Home, and there's some inherent privacy / trust issues in having a "gadget" that's always listening in your home; however, a couple of things to note with this:

1. It doesn't affect anyone else. The voyeurism issue that Google Glass presented / presents is still an unsolved issue. I wonder if the UK, where surveillance is more less ubiquitous, if Google Glass would had been more successful had it only launched there?

2. I think the idea of “tech” glasses is great, but a camera was necessary. All the horror stories centered around this ethical issue of, “am I being watched?” by the wearers.

Google kind of botched the entire market with the launch of this. I’d love to see someone do this without a camera and better design / UX.
