Every major tech company is working on computer glasses. None of them really want to go first.<\/p>\n

They all remember how Google Glass, and the \u201cGlassholes\u201d who wore them<\/a> in public, became the laughingstock of the world. So they\u2019ve been waiting, biding their time, refining their prototypes<\/a>, and every so often<\/a> making sure investors know that, no, they\u2019re not going to let the first potentially iPhone-sized opportunity since the iPhone slip by. <\/p>\n

But now, Google itself is taking the next step. And whether you\u2019ve been dreading the moment when Big Tech\u2019s all-seeing eyes reappear on people\u2019s heads or merely counting the days until you can own a hands-free camera-computer, you should know we\u2019re on the verge of contending with them once again.<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, Google revealed<\/a> that it will begin testing camera-equipped augmented reality glasses in public, and the company\u2019s blog post<\/a> contains numerous statements designed to assure you that this won\u2019t be the era of Glassholes all over again. Google claims it\u2019s starting with \u201ca few dozen\u201d testers, and the cameras and microphones on its glasses \u201cdon\u2019t support photography and videography.\u201d They do collect visual data, but Google wants you to imagine use cases like \u201ctranslating the menu in front of you\u201d \u2014 not recording someone across from you at a bar.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s support page<\/a> also contains an entire list of FAQs like \u201cWhat is image data used for?\u201d; \u201cHow long is it stored?\u201d; and \u201cHow will I know if I\u2019m in close proximity to products being tested?\u201d Turns out there\u2019s an LED that lights up if Google decides to save images for analysis, and it promises to delete them 30 days later.<\/p>\n

For now, Google says its testers won\u2019t be using them in schools, hospitals, churches, playgrounds, and the like \u2014 though it says nothing about restaurants and bars, where Glass famously got wearers in trouble<\/a> years ago.<\/p>\n
