Re:Is it socially acceptable to wear Google Glass to a bar? by a_bonobo on Monday February 04, 2013 @08:21PM (#5168431)
I don't think it is socially acceptable - it's like walking around with a movie camera over your shoulder where you've taped over the red LED. No-one you're talking to will know whether they're being recorded, resulting in a very uncomfortable feeling.

There's also an aspect of rudeness - when I talk to you and you're wearing these glasses I will automatically assume you're doing something different while I'm talking, which would feel very annoying. It's a little bit like the person I'm talking to is constantly staring at his/her smart phone.

If these glasses take off I can imagine explicit or implied "No Glasses"-policies at bars, and especially restaurants.
