All Your Worst Fears About Google Glass Are Coming True, and It's All Your Fault

It only took about six weeks for developers to take all of the theoretically creepy things the Internet dreamt up about the face computer of the future and turn those into real-life Google Glass nightmares.


In addition to that creepy walking-and-stalking app Wink, Glassholes can appear forward to a porn app, plus apps that that get benefit of an upcoming facial recognition API. Yes, the reality of Glass wearers surreptitiously watching intercourse video clips is upon us: "Thanks on the imminent arrival of Google Glass porn, I just acquired creeped out for the initial time with regards to the prospect of the Glass-filled long term," writes CNET's Eric Mack. "Now I will forever have a disturbing visual stuck in my head with the disturbing visuals that Glass customers will likely be, nicely, sticking to the sides of their heads," he continues, right after watching this short, pretty SFW promotional video from MiKandi, a top adult Android app provider.

For most individuals, nonetheless, Google's new facial recognition API presents a more terrifying situation when it comes to creepiness ?a you already know, because of the privacy implications. The engineering will allow apps to, know, remember a encounter, come across your pals inside a crowd, match your interests to other creeps at networking occasions, and construct intelligent contact books, as Stephen Balaban a co-founder of API builder Lambda Labs explained. A few of that sounds valuable, but what should you do not want your face to get recognized? Is there any escape? And definitely this is often only the beginning of potentially unpleasant matters that coding dorks will build into laptop glasses in the future.
 
But we knew this would happen, didn't we? Remember all those articles freaking about Google Glass as a huge privacy violation, so much so that legislators want to make it illegal? Indeed, the bloggers predicted this. Or, another theory: This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. All those freak-out trend stories gave developers all the right ideas for how to use Glass. Way to go, Internet. You've crowdsourced an army of cyborg creeps.
