Google Glass For Work Is Sleeker, Tougher and Foldable (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader writes: FCC filings published today are offering a glimpse of the "Enterprise Edition" of Google Glass. According to Engadget: "...The work-focused eyepiece touts a much slicker (and likely more durable) design with both a larger display prism and a hinge that lets you fold it up for travel. The test photos also reveal a spot for a magnetic battery attachment and what looks to be a speedier Atom processor. There's still no word on when Google will announce this headset, although the FCC presence hints that it might not take long."

  1. Have they solved the washroom problem? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Have they solved the problem of perverts using devices like these in public washrooms? Like do the devices detect when they're being used in a washroom, and automatically shut themselves down to prevent any recording from taking place?

    Let's say I get stuck going to a database conference. The venue also happens to be hosting a Ruby on Rails conference at the same time. Well, I would not be surprised if some of the Rubyists had glasses like these. I would also not be surprised if they wore them while going to the washroom. If I were in that washroom, I would NOT want these disgusting Rubyists to be able to record me urinating! I can just picture them leering over the top of the urinal divider, trying to catch a glimpse of my cock. It disgusts me that people could try stuff like that.

    I really, really hope that these kinds of devices have safeguards to prevent incidents like that from ever happening. They need to have some kind of auto shutdown to prevent that kind of perverse recording.
