I never owned a model, but I think it was one of those pieces of tech where the UX and timing were poorly executed.<p>I have a Google Home, and there&#x27;s some inherent privacy &#x2F; trust issues in having a &quot;gadget&quot; that&#x27;s always listening in your home; however, a couple of things to note with this:<p>1. It doesn&#x27;t affect anyone else. The voyeurism issue that Google Glass presented &#x2F; presents is still an unsolved issue. I wonder if the UK, where surveillance is more less ubiquitous, if Google Glass would had been more successful had it only launched there?<p>2. I think the idea of “tech” glasses is great, but a camera was necessary. All the horror stories centered around this ethical issue of, “am I being watched?” by the wearers.<p>Google kind of botched the entire market with the launch of this. I’d love to see someone do this without a camera and better design &#x2F; UX.
