Tracking: The Ban On Google Glass | Fast Company
Geege Schuman stashed this in Google
Stashed in: Vegas, Baby!, Augmented Reality!, Avengers!, Boy, that escalated quickly.
The New York Times reports today the augmented reality headset has been preemptively banned by a Seattle dive bar. West Virginia legislators have attempted to make it illegal for drivers to sport Glass behind the wheel. Las Vegas casinos such as Caesars, which prohibits computers and recording devices, won't be welcoming Glass. And a White House petition requests the federal government ban Glass from the entire United States until we enforce stricter limitations on public surveillance. (As of this writing, the petition has 21 signatures.)
As the list of concerned protesters continues to grow, we began to wonder: Where will we be most likely to see this Glass resistance moving forward? We put together a short list, one we'll continue to flesh out as more examples crop up in the news:
Movie theaters and concert venues
Public schools
Behind the wheel
Hospitals
Banks and ATMs
Dressing rooms, locker rooms, and other rooms with people who are potentially naked
Do you have a "governmental knee-jerk reaction" gif?
Brilliant!
