I'm not sure whether it would work better today.

What seems odd about the glasses is that they're essentially bodycams, but just unobtrusive enough not to be identified as such from a distance.

Someone walking around with an AR headset makes it very clear they're wearing a tech device, someone holding up a phone in front of them signals "I might be filming", but someone wearing slightly unusual glasses won't catch any attention. And that seems very weird to a lot of people.

I thought Google Glass was a really cool idea. I actually liked Google back then.

To be fair, that product was crazy expensive. It was basically exclusively for wealthy people. If it was cheaper, and easy to develop for, it would have been a huge success.

Look at what Apple has done here by comparison... This bullshit is even more expensive.

God, I still dream of a device that works like we saw in the OG Glass concept video as opposed to the glorified Google Plus browser we got
