Augmented Reality
| Google Glass enthusiast Cecilia Abadie recently became possibly the first person to get a traffic ticket for driving while wearing the device. She suggests augmented reality technology will lead to more transparency in our lives, and that this is a good thing. |
R ecently Cecilia Abadie made history as the first person to receive a ticket for driving while wearing Google Glass.
On her G+ page, Abadie asked her fellow Explorers whether or not they had ever experienced something similar: "Is #GoogleGlass illegal while driving or is this cop wrong??? Any legal advice is appreciated!! This happened in California. Do you know any other #GlassExplorers that got a similar ticket anywhere in the U.S.?"
Abadie is one of the early users of Glass, the augmented reality computer systems from Google.

Facing some quite scathing comments on the video above, Abadie responded:
"My point overall is that the reality is that we are losing our privacy and moving towards transparency, that's just the observation of a current process that seems to be irreversible, so I just bring the subject to the table to think about it collectively and point out there are some good things about transparency when you do it right, as a society, government, organizations as well as personally."
What do you think, will augmented reality devices like Glass lead to more transparency, or just more distracted driving traffic tickets?
