Comment on What I’ve learned from 35 years of wearing computerized eyewear

Comments

>The impact and fall injured my leg and also broke my wearable computing system, which normally overwrites its memory buffers and doesn’t permanently record images. But as a result of the damage, it retained pictures of the car’s license plate and driver, who was later identified and arrested thanks to this record of the incident.

This image retention also happened when he was attacked at a McDonald's in Paris last summer: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/steve-mann-attacked...

Here's his account: http://eyetap.blogspot.com/2012/07/physical-assault-by-mcdon...

As far as I know, nothing ever came of it (i.e. there were no charges or settlements).

Yes it seemed to me like he already used this excuse.

Yeah you don't have to worry my glass never record anything... well except when it's super convenient to me, then it magically break just at the right moment
