Yes, Glass always garnered a bit too much attention for me. It's really awkward when people ask to try it on and you don't want to hand over your $1500 device to a stranger.

It suffered from the additional issue of negative social interaction - some people (luckily none that I've run into) are really opposed to face-phone (Glass) as opposed to in-your-pocket-or-hand-phone. I don't really understand why people think you're invading their privacy just because of an unusual device form factor.

How can you not understand that? If you talk to something wearing google glass you are in the camera's viewport. A smartphone however is mostly kept in you bag, or you have it placed on a table and you are probably NOT in the cameras viewport.

So it's not about the form factor, but the fact that in case of google glass, the camera is pointing on your head!
