    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.
