Camera

The Explorer version of Google Glass uses a Liquid Crystal on Silicon(LCoS), field-sequential color, LED illuminated display

The display's LED illumination is first P-polarized and then shines through the in-coupling polarizing beam splitter (PBS) to the LCoS panel.

The panel reflects the light and alters it to S-polarization at active pixel sites. The in-coupling PBS then reflects the S-polarized areas of light at 45° through the out-coupling beam splitter to a collimating reflector at the other end.

Finally, the out-coupling beam splitter reflects the collimated light another 45° and into the wearer's eye

Disadvantages Glass might give you a ‘nerdy’ look that might

create clumsiness among people. No indication while clicking pictures (like

pointing the camera) which almost sounds like a hidden camera trying to capture a non-ready subject.

No public privacy concern so the worry of leaking out information still remains.
