Hispters wanting to wear them in bars and bathrooms. It might as well been called iGlass for the same level of douchebaggery it attracted.

It was a limited run proof of concept that didn't take off due to the technology being too weak and the social implications being too strong for a lot of people to stomach.

Overall I think it went well, I think we'll probably see more AR type stuff if VR makes it to a fourth or fifth generation and HMD tech improves. The increasing amount of cameras in public (quadcopters, police/civilian bodycams, etc.) will probably make people desensitized to being publicly recorded as well, making AR more socially acceptable.

Too soon to properly work, too late to not have people freak out for filming them

People don't like edgelords.

Google Glass was marketed to and for edgelords.

Specs and functionality are fucking shit and you look like a total tool wearing them lmao.

People decided to care about one fifth of their privacy for just long enough to shoot down the idea of a mainstream glasses camera.

People also decided to ignore the millions of cameras recording them from every angle all day long
