The Hacker/Developer says: "It's a very different experience taking a picture of someone with Glass vs a phone or even a plain old camera. Looking directly at a person instead of through a viewfinder has a huge psychological difference."

If google glass becomes popular, I'll expect to hear this phrase more - "Please take your glasses off before we proceed.."

Wasn't obvious, but here's where the actual goodies are:<p><a href="https://github.com/kaze0/winky" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kaze0/winky</a>

I wasn't aware that they were tracking eye movement (of any sort). This is incredibly cool, although the privacy implications could be disturbing.<p>A quick google search didn't reveal a list of all of the on-board sensors. If anyone knows where I can I find it, linking would be greatly appreciated.

This is awesome. I wonder why this is not the default (inbuilt) way of taking pictures. Before they made it more obvious, I was actually thinking this would be the way to click pictures in a glass.

This is a really cool hack. It's exciting for me to see the amount of activity surrounding Glass. I wonder what the sensitivity is to recognize a gesture as a wink rather than a blink... I guess a dive into the source might answer that.

Any alternatives to the voice interface could be welcome.<p>Maybe nose wiggling al la bewitched.
