Google Glass Strip Clubs To Ban It?

Will Google Glass be banned inside strip clubs? It looks like it will.

Google’s futuristic Glass headgear will be available before year’s end. The device may well be the final step before human-machine interaction moves under our skin — but its wearers may trigger some undesired social reactions from friends and family members, and it may not go over too well at your local watering hole, either. In fact, judging from our early look, Google Glass won’t be welcome in lots of places — including cinemas, casinos and strip clubs, as shop owners don’t want people filming there.

Google Glass consists of a small display situated on a frame that resembles eyeglasses. It is connected to a camera, microphone and bone-conducting speaker. Glass pairs with your smartphone wirelessly using Bluetooth, but also can use Wi-Fi to access the Internet. You can use your voice or your finger to get it to take photos, record video, initiate video or voice chats, send messages, search Google and translate words or phrases.

Google’s being a bit coy about the ship date for this groundbreaking wearable computer. However, while qualifying early adopters are paying $1,500 a pop for the privilege of owning it first, we’re told that it will become more widely available by year’s end — with a slightly more affordable price tag.

One of the reasons Glass will find itself unwelcome in places is because its camera lives at the wearer’s eye level. It takes photos or record videos without a red blinking light telling others it’s happening. Anywhere cameras and other recording devices are unwelcome, the same would most certainly go for Google Glass.
