If video thing is so uncomfortable/confusing, a simple solution could be to add a simple LED indicating if camera is on or off. Apart from that I don't think there is anything else major that would annoy people around you.
- herokusaki 13y agoI wonder if Google not equipping Glass with an indicator LED to tell whether it's recording was an omission on their part or a deliberate design choice they made for some reason (which then misfired).

- XorNot 13y agoThe problem is culturally people treat a camera lens like an eye, and studies show that merely seeing a picture of an eye or a camera causes people to act like they're being surveilled (signs with eyes on them and a message are obeyed more often). So you're always going to have a problem pointing a lens at someone, no matter what indicators are there. I suspect the innovation needed here is mechanical - Google should try adding a mechanically driven shutter to the camera, so when it's off, the lens is covered. I would bet strongly that that would solve 95% of people's problem with Google Glass.
