The problem is - most of the cool and useful personal applications of glass
fly in the face of various social expectations. The very idea you could be
recording someone caused a backlash the last time, and that's nowhere near
doing facial recognition...

Is facial recognition creepier than recording?

If it's done in real-time, i.e. the scanned images aren't saved then surely a
"This is person <X> you've met and tagged as X" is less creepy than actually
videoing someone? You wouldn't get any information you haven't yourself added
to the device (although it would probably need to lean on external data-sets
for the training).

I wouldn't suggest facial recognition should recognise anyone you haven't met
yet, I think that would be a bit weird (although I think it is the future
anyway), but a way to effectively add a tag on someone you know would be
great. Most people can do this without the technology to varying levels of
accuracy and and breadth of their acquaintances.

I think it is creepier by definition, through the very fact that the other
person can't verify you aren't recording. A camera is a camera. Even if the
product officially doesn't record anything, who's to say I didn't mod my
glasses' firmware to dump the video buffer? Not to mention that once video
stream goes into cloud, you lose control over what happens to it.
