I think Google Glass could be an incredible technology.
One of my grad students is working at the lab is working on a simultaneous subtitled
translation application for movies.
So you could go into a movie and be a Spanish-speaking person and you could go into an English language
movie and it would show you the subtitles on the Google Glass while you were watching
the movie.
That to me would be very cool.
And if we could do it in seven or eight languages, that would be a fabulous application for,
and maybe even for people who are hard of hearing.
You could do that and it has a little, you know, bone conductor in the back of the thing
so you can feel the shake of the buildings in an action movie, but also see the, you
know, English subtitles so to speak.
But, that being said, I also think that if I was at a really interesting political dinner
party say and someone had Google Glass on, would I be as honest and open and, you know,
just completely loose, especially after a bottle of wine as I would if they didn't have
Google Glass on?
I'm not sure I would because I wouldn't be sure, well are they recording me or am I gonna
get home, am I gonna regret what I'm saying?
So that's an interesting question.
