Google Glass Etiquette Guide is becoming more of a necessity since wearers of the Glass are making non-wearers are uncomfortable.
The Wall Street Journal describes the scenario as: "New technology has a way of bringing out our rude and annoying side--just think of the guy who walked into you while composing a text or the woman in line at the dry cleaner who was shouting into her cell phone."
We've been hearing about the lady who got pulled over by the California Highway police while wearing 'Google Glass' - a completely benign situation according to the judge who overruled that it was not disrupting her line of vision.
A more dramatic example of the man pulled out of a theater by homeland security purportedly for trying to copy the movie while in motion. How cheap is that? Well, it's an extreme but the public and law enforcement will have to use to the Google Glass 2 just we grew to like, better yet love, smartphones. We can't keep our hands off of it.
According to reports, a consumer release could come as early as mid 2014 now that Google Glass has outfitted prescription lens options on its original device. This makes it even more practical because the user is not wearing it just as Google Glass but as something he/she would use on a daily basis. Shades are an additional option that applies to outdoor wear and converges nicely with computer device worn on the head.
It sounds like these Google Glass scenarios are going to get more frequent and a Google Glass's Etiquette Guide may seem a little farfetched, so perhaps its best to use some common sense before giving people the impression that you could be taking photos or videos of them in both public and private places.
In fact, Google Glass has come up with some guidelines for you to use, while wearing the computer device on your head. And so somebody doesn't call you a 'glasshole,' a term that describes a person walking around with a band on his head, winking and taking photos.
"Respect others, and if they have questions about Glass don't get snappy," cautions Goggle Glass.
It goes without saying that when your cell phone, is asked to be turned off, you need to turn off the Google Glass.
You're also requested to not "glass out," or zone out, which means 'space out' in layman's words. They are intended for short bursts of info and looking into the prism for long periods is not a good idea." People might you're rude as well.
Google makes a point saying that people don't' ignore a Google Glass.
"Google emphasizes the positive with a list of dos. Most audaciously, given what the technology does, Google claims it encourages us to "explore the world around you."
Most reports say that the Google glass price and release date will be ousted on April 2014. The price tag is $600. Glass Explorer Robert Scoble said in his Google Plus post that the gadget, which originally looked like a great idea might be "doomed" even before hitting the market. "If it's $600 and dorky looking, it'll be doomed," Scoble said in a International Digital Times report after a U.K. poll showed that 53% of respondents said $600, what a high end smartphone would cost, is too much for the wearable gadget. This leaves Google with high expectations for its Glass.
