We’ve all heard of Google Glass<\/a>,\u00a0and probably seen features which comment on these devices, but on Time Lightbox,<\/a> Richard Koci Hernandez talks about his experience of actually using this wearable camera.<\/p>\n

He says: “It is jaw-dropping as a photographer to walk out with a wearable camera that\u2019s almost physically and literally attached to your eye. Believe it or not, it\u2019s just like wearing a pair of sunglasses, and it\u2019s a lot less intimidating for subjects. Nobody has objected. Every now and then I\u2019ll hear somebody whisper, \u2018Oh, he\u2019s got Google Glass.\u2019 But nobody has stopped me or said \u2018don\u2019t do that.<\/em>\u2019”<\/p>\n

Of course there are other glasses with cameras, though the image size and quality is generally low and a quick search on eBay or elsewhere will soon find slightly less obvious ‘spy camera glasses<\/em>‘ than Google Glass for a relatively modest price, giving – according to the ads – high quality 1280 x 720 pixels video or 5Mp images. Of course you can’t talk to them and have to kind of scratch your ear to take a picture.<\/p>\n

Google Glass is more than a camera as a TechRadar<\/a> feature makes clear. But as a camera system its specifications are modest, 5Mp and 720p – just like the cheaper ‘spy’ glasses. So if you want to try this kind of thing out, you can probably do so now on the cheap. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
