The sensor-filledProject Ariaglasses are an experiment intended to gather data and judge public perception of the technology.
Its going to change the social fabric and the very way we interact with each other.
Facebook acknowledgesthat capturing all this information could raise privacy concerns.
Similar previous experiments were met with a frosty reception.
Some restaurants and bars banned Google Glass when it was launched because of privacy concerns.
Glass users werecalled “glassholes” for filming people without their permission.
Despite the privacy concerns, augmented reality holds promise for holding people accountable, Neresian said.
A range of other manufacturers offer AR gear primarily for industrial users.
Equally important will be not to overwhelm users with information.
While the market for smart glasses develops, companies are using augmented reality apps for mobile phones.
GE, for example, lets shoppers see appliances in their kitchens using an AR app.
“[Much like] cell phones impacted the way people interact with each other.
Now, everyone has a camera and a microphone.
In the same way with AR, people will be able to record everything.”
