What went wrong?

The optics

Normies, who end up posting every bit of their personal info and their friends' faces in photos online to facebook anyway.

glassholes

way too early, people aren’t willing enough to give away their liberty (yet, alas) to google

>>61800298
They look faggy and no one wants to hang around someone who may be recording you the whole time.

Wearing those things in public was just asking to be assaulted

You get pretty good vids from it tho

It was technology that could only be realistically made 3 years from now made 3 years ago.
Wait 3 years and another one of these will be made.

it looked stupid
still does

Giving it to the public, but not a lot of the public. Then the only news it made was about people getting beaten up.

They did well with its current iteration. It's not some exclusive consumer release and it's not making any news as a result. Perhaps now they can focus on product development instead of perception management.

nothing really, they were always an experiment not intended for mainstream use

It was like strapping a huge sign to your face that says, "I'm a pretentious wanker with more money than sense. Please beat me within an inch of my life and take the small fortune I carry on my head."

They were also an invasion of everyone else's privacy.

SJW killed it. I'm serious, people started doing porn with google glass and google banned it because "ew, porn, gross".

Then people put face recognition on it and google banned it because "ugh, creeeepy".

What good is having a camera and screen mounted on your fucking head if you can't do anything fun with it?

no apps

>>61800298
Non-optimized piece of rubbish technology.

Meanwhile every faggot has a GoPro on a stick while walking around large cities

I worked on these at Google. They had to shut down the program when one of our programmers told a female coworker that she had a "nice glass". She literally started shaking and couldn't even so we had to cancel the project.

Cool story

underrated

Not being actual glasses, I already wear one all the time so it wouldn't be a problem, but for normal people it was an impossible sell.

Do you have something to hide?

Normies only disregard abstract or alien concepts of privacy. They go fucking bananas when it's a literal camera directly in front of them. As examples, consider that YouTuber who walked up to strangers and just filmed them, and the number of people who have freaked out on me when they saw my dashcam.

/g/ wouldn't stop with botnet shit so google took them off the market

But your mother is.

Not gonna lie...this was the on innovative piece of technology I was genuinely excites about for awhile.

As always jackassea make sure we can't have nice things.
