    Anybody else remember Google Glass, and how that project was abandoned after Bay Area beta testers kept getting mugged and bullied in public?

      My dad knows people at google who worked on that thing, apparently it was abandoned because people would film with it in public bathrooms and similar privacy issues

        Apple are bringing it back soon. They intend to release a VR headset followed by Apple Glass. The VR headset is likely only intended as a method of building an existing pool of apps for the real project they're interested in with Glass.

      I thought it was because people with the glasses were using them to perv on women, so it started getting banned in offices and other business settings.

    i'm willing to bet this is ableism.

    if dudes wouldn't use things like this or google glass to stalk, harass, and abuse women i could have an accessibility device that reminds me of peoples' names and the last thing we talked about.

      Notebook or notes app. Let me know if this wouldn't work, but writing down someone's name and what you talked about both helps retain the information, and if you still forget they know you did your best to recall it.

          Unless you're in a business meeting or a serious conversation, going off on a tangent and then finishing, "wait what were we talking about?" Or just switching to a new topic is fine. And asking for their name again as they leave is pretty normal.

      You would be a freak because AIs don't understand human conversations. "So what brings you here?" "How are you enjoying this?" "How was the trip here?" "Are you here with anyone?" "What do you think of the food?" "Some weather we're having, huh?" "Got any plans for (next season)?" "So what do you do?"

      Or just make an observation about what's going on at the function. Ask a hypothetical. Talk about some popular show or movie. If they're wearing something special, ask about it. If they're reading something, ask about it. Get them talking, tell a story or give your opinion if it relates, and ask another question based on something they said if it interests you.
