Google on Glass: You’ll Just Know When Someone’s Spying on You

Yesterday see to it Google face a deal of questions over Google Glass secrecy : not only was itgrilled by developer at I / O , but Congress also send it alist of eight interrogation it wants answered . It ’s response ? Do n’t sweat it ; you ’ll know if someone is spy on you , silly .

Speaking at an I / oxygen session , Steve Lee , Glass ’ Cartesian product theatre director , explained that “ privacy was top of brain as we designed the product . ” He argued that former prototypes covered the user ’s heart , which they soon agnize was a regretful idea ; the final adaptation give the eye expose , allowing others to see where they are looking . Which , according to Lee , makes secrecy worry a trivial concern :

“ You ’ll have sex when someone with Glass is pay attention to you . If you ’re looking at Glass , you ’re look up … If I ’m show you , I have to gaze at you — as a human being . And when someone is stare at you , you have to notice . If you walk into a restroom and someone ’s just look at you — I do n’t know about you but I ’m receive the hell out of there . ”

While what they say is notionally true — you do , of class , have to have your head facing in the direction of someone to show them — it ’s a pretty trembling privacy argument . you’re able to look to one side and record , say , or even close up your centre . Orroot itandjust nictitate to take a picture .

So while Google might be confident that privacy is n’t too much of a concern , such arguments are unlikely to win over the wider public — or Congress!—that they have cover all the bases . One thing is sure : the privacy issue hem in Glass look set to lead . And run . And run . [ VergeandArs Technica ]
