Google Inc Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt has been playing with his company’s new combination glasses and mobile computer and said he finds the experience a little weird.<\/p>\n
Talking out loud to control the Google Glasses via voice recognition is “the weirdest thing,” Schmidt said in a talk on Thursday at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.<\/p>\n
People will have to develop new etiquette to deal with such products that can record video surreptitiously and bring up information that only the wearer can see, Schmidt said.<\/p>\n
“There are obviously places where Google Glasses are inappropriate,” he said.<\/p>\n
Google is making the glasses available to software developers this year but has said they won’t be available more broadly until 2014.<\/p>\n
Google has decided that it will pre-approve all apps offered to glasses users, unlike its more wide open market for Android phones and tablets.<\/p>\n
“It’s so new, we decided to be more cautious,” Schmidt said. “It’s always easier to open it up more in the future.”<\/p>\n
