Augmented Reality: Google Glass contractual restrictions | Beyond The Beyond. *Well well, this is gonna get interesting. “Google is barring anyone deemed worthy of a pair of its $1,500 Google Glass computer eyewear from selling or even loaning out the highly coveted gadget.
“The company’s terms of service on the limited-edition wearable computer specifically states, “you may not resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person. If you resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google’s authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the device will be entitled to any refund, product support, or product warranty.” “Welcome to the New World, one in which companies are retaining control of their products even after consumers purchase them. (((It’s a New World — and Wired Gadget Lab is there to bring it to ya!))) “It was bound to happen. Google Glass: is it a threat to our privacy? If you haven't heard about the excitement around Google Glass – the head-mounted glasses that can shoot video, take pictures, and broadcast what you're seeing to the world – then here's an idea of the interest in them.
Last week, someone claiming to be testing Glass for Google auctioned their $1,500 (£995) device on eBay. Bidding had reached $16,000 before eBay stopped it on the basis that the person couldn't prove they had the glasses. (They weren't due to get them until last Friday.) Google Glass is the most hotly anticipated new arrival in "wearable computing" – which experts predict will become pervasive. In the past 50 years we have moved from "mainframe" computers that needed their own rooms to ones that fit in a pocket; any smartphone nowadays has as much raw computing power as a top-of-the-line laptop from 10 years ago.
The next stage is computers that fit on to your body, and Google's idea is that you need only speak to operate it. Still, you might think, where's the harm? I, for One, Welcome Our Google Glass-Wearing Cyborg Overlords. You may have noticed the Google Glass backlash is well underway. Once we were thrilled by the promise of the eye-level connected screen and camera technology; once we poked satirical fun at it.
But no more. Now, it seems, we've reached the stage of being threatened by it. One dive bar in Seattle banned customers from wearing Glass; given that no consumers and few developers have their hands on the tech yet, and Google HQ is 700 miles to the south, this was a little like your local doctor's office banning human cloning. An online campaign called "Stop the Cyborgs" is offering Google Glass ban signs for free download, as well as stickers and T-shirts. All in all, it's an uncomfortable time to proclaim what Eddie Izzard dubbed "technojoy" about the prospect of a whole new category of gadget.
Heaven forbid that here, in the 2010s, jetpack-less and flying car-free, we might actually gain an item of personal gear that looks the teensiest bit futuristic. But fear not, fellow cyborg-lovers. Thirty-Five Arguments Against Google Glass. Google Glass is a snazzy set of specs that will part the Red Sea if you tap it from the right angle. It aims to fuse smartphones and computers into a hands-free user experience more pleasurable than sex, religion, and world domination combined. Glass is not yet on the market, but the news of its existence cut a hew through Mountain View with the strident fife of an unpaid piper wooing unsuspecting kids into a dark cave. It inspired Google co-founder Sergey Brin to publicly announce that he felt less male with the thick tools that came before. Some wondered why Brin didn’t just hold hard to his smartphone and slam down shots every Friday night like the rest of America.
But when your net worth is $23 billion, different rules apply. Brin was good enough to describe his new instrument to the Wall Street Journal last September: They are, uh, a new form of computing, uh, that’s designed to really free you. Here are thirty-five arguments against Google Glass: Metadata may create more headaches. Diary of a Google Glass enthusiast.
Awesome! My Google Glass arrived today. Or is it Google Glasses? Who cares. Now I’m certain to be cool. Marie from Accounts will HAVE to notice me. I can’t stop the annoying flashing blue icon in my cornea. Running late for work though. It’s a bit weird walking down the street with these things, but I guess I’ll get used to it. I’ll switch it off for the time being. OK, I think I’ve got the hang of it now. I’ve suddenly noticed a lot of really angry looking people wearing t-shirts that say things like “Record me and I’ll punch you in the head”, I take to the streets. I’ve suddenly noticed a lot of really angry looking people wearing t-shirts that say things like “Record me and I’ll punch you in the head”, but it’s easy enough to turn the other way. Coming out of the coffee shop I trip over face down onto the sidewalk. Found out that these things are also really good for scaring old people.
Alright, this is getting annoying. I can’t believe how awesome the face recognition app is. Life through a lens: Will Google Glass turn us all into drones? Google Glass was demonstrated at SXSW this week, prompting much debate about whether the tech giant's latest gadget will change how we see the world. But more than that, what effect will real-time, heads-up data have on our consciousness over time? Ed Castillo, head of planning at TBWA\Chiat\Day in New York, goes through the looking-glass... The demonstration of Google Glass at SXSWi has aroused – or at least has coincided with – Twitter activity from technologists and ad types (Twechs and Twads?) About everything from hyper-practical concerns to thoughtful accounts of how this innovation might change the shape of public life. Even a cursory look at the digital echo emanating from Monday’s demo reveals the disruptive promise of this innovation. What follows is a surface contemplation of just a few of the issues that Google Glass use will raise, building toward a subtler, longer-time-horizon issue that I’ve not yet seen addressed by the Twechs and Twads… A blurring of bodies and bits.
