The annoying thing about the emphasis is that there is an obvious use for it that won't suffer from an overload problem - personal usage for those of us who have terrible face memory/recognition and ability to manually enter/assign a string to a face.
That would combine with AR. But that AR has already flopped due to several issues even without the added camera needed. Plus the issues of existing eyeglass combining.
Really that Glass backlash was bizzare along with the post 9-11 "anyone pointing a camera near anything man made must be a terrorist" yet nobody bats an eye or does more than snark at surveillance cameras everywhere. There is probably some psychological principle behind it but the simplest explanation is that "normal people" are fundamentally fucking insane and only care about it conforming to norms instead of actual harm.
The Glass backlash was for the wrong reasons, but right overall. There are plenty of individuals who've made their own setups for this, and setups that don't share with Google, at that. Glass, though, was definitely harmful.
