Google Dispels Myths About Connected Eyewear

Mar 21, 2014 05:08 PM EDT | By Justin Stock

Google defended myths about its connected eyewear glass technological device in a post on their blog Thursday.

"Almost everybody is reluctant to change almost everything. Whatever you learned as a kid you want to keep always," Dean Kamen, a business told Ron Miller, a participant at last week's South By Southwest conference in Austin Tech Crunch reported.

Some users have had quite the time wearing and using the device in public places.

Instances have included a man tearing the device from a woman's face at Molotov's on Haight Street in San Francisco Feb. 21 after she was demonstrating how it worked to another person. Two women approached her and then the man took the gadget from her face, along with her phone, and purse.

Another woman received a ticket for 'driving with Google Glass,' before the case was eventually thrown out.

The myths include glass is the ultimate distraction from the real world, Glass is always on and recording everything, Glass Explorers are technology-worshipping geeks, Glass is ready for prime time, Glass does facial recognition (and other dodgy things), Glass covers your eye(s), Glass is the perfect surveillance device, glass is only for those privileged enough to afford it, glass is banned everywhere, and glass marks the end of privacy.

Google Glass already has many features from game playing to listening to music, Users can play tennis, a balance game which tests their ability to keep books on their head, clay shooter similar to the infamous duck hunt game, Match which evaluates how well one pairs patches with similar patterns, and Shape Splitter where shapes are broken up information on the blog said.

Google Glass music capabilities allows users to look for songs, review playlists, and hear music files in good quality sound with the device on their head.

Google users can also send friend requests to three of their close acquaintances, and listen to music.
