No.

There's no need - a number of people currently using them are getting them sufficiently poor publicity that no main-stream person will WANT to use them:

I think they should ban. Imagine all the idiots using this while operating a vehicle. And if that is not a good enough reason to ban it, how about privacy issues? Let's say you are using the toilet at the local restaurent and some guy with camera in his face is next to you?

There have been versions of glasses mounted cameras and displays for a number of years. It hasn't caused any problems so far.

Similarly many cars have heads up displays already for many years.

Only because Google has much marketing effort is there such attention given. Heretofore nobody cared.

Privacy concerns, why because you are actually seeing the camera?

I get a laugh out of this. If somebody wants to video tape you they can do that anyway with all sorts of secret cameras or just use their phone. Every phone these days has a video on it.

Because they don't look like these?

I know it used to be the case (I had one) but do not know if it is the case now, however "Heads Up" displays in cars did not overlap regular field of vision; the car I had displayed stuff on the windshield but the display was at the bottom of the windshield where the view was of the hood, not of the street - hardly "Heads Up".

Or this? You'll never look at a button the same way again.

That's the same with google glass you have to lookup slightly.

Now if you are a private business owner, could you ban customers/patrons from coming into your business if they have these glasses on? Or would this create some kinda legal problem?

I think Fairfax County should do a large pilot project with the County Police to see how Google glasses could be linked into the local state and federal crime databases, facial/licence recognition software and also access DMV data real-time.

They could just look at you and your car and have instant feedback on your past offenses, vehicle status, Facebook postings and home/work data.

Try to lie your way out of the next ticket, chump.

This would be a great way to find easy chicks in a bar or other social setting.

Link up the facial recognition and find status, postings, pictures.

If you get a green light, go for it.

What status would Alias get if seen through Google Glass?

Eesh?

I just don't get it?

Fairfax County probably wouldn't have the authority to ban them, not delegated by the state govt.

I got some x-ray glasses from the back of a comic book and ooohhh lala!

Google everything should be banned, not by the government; I don't like the government banning things..... but, even if I did... Google and Obama are in bed together.

You, the customer, must ban Google.

Google has become too intrusive....

Beware.

Status? An F minus.

She has too much to say, for a woman. Sometimes, she sounds just like a man.

And, she doesn't like Obama's politics, so you know she's a RACIST.

She's annoying.
