The Project Glass team has taken to Google Plus to clear up their approach to facial recognition software on Google Glass, and due to some serious privacy concerns, Google will not be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time. It doesn’t mean no forever, as the statement says that they won’t add facial recognition without strong privacy measures in place. So, theoretically, if the privacy side of things is up to snuff, they wouldn’t have a problem with facial recognition. As technology keeps moving along at its brisk pace, though, I’m sure that stance will change when the privacy issues aren’t so big.
Overall, I think this is a smart move on Google’s part. Glass has already taken some heat from big names for a number of reasons, and it’s a good idea to avoid throwing fuel on the fire.
