Issues of public etiquette using google glass...do museums have "rules" yet?

Probably not the last Google Glass sparked fight

Interesting commentary from some who have tested Google Glass. Overall, it seems that GG is not as close to being able to be a widespread consumer product as the hype might have us believe.

Well, it looks like one more "invention from the future" is about to invade the market. Let's just hope Big Brother isn't watching. The real question however is how can something like Google Glasses be used by the museum field. Actually, the possibilities are endless.

Just heard of this from the Official Google Blog.  A game-changer?

no doubt there has been good measure of skepticism and backlash; idea of walking around 'distracted' - or possibility of always recording-- lends to some dystopian images of the future... I'd say the TV was a similar technology that led to distraction/couch potato culture. (But we've moved on) This is more mobile - and in the world. I think it's exciting -- and needs some healthy skepticism. For CAMLF-- I look at these glasses- in more specific applications--where context is more controlled. Imagine the 'layering' of experiences. Providing visual learning element to the objects inside our walls Museum environments seem perfect--- even more so than (what I think is a poor vision) walking around public streets. In private situations for Google Goggles seems more ideal.. Maybe?

Case involves a woman who got a ticket for driving while wearing her Google Glasses. Officer said it was the same as if she had a video/TV screen on in the front of her car.

The in-your-face nature of the technology has touched a nerve in a society growing increasingly concerned about the invasive nature of new technologies such as wearable gadgets and drones.

Forget Google glass, I want one of these.
