Attack on Steve Mann due to augmented reality glasses
Foreword: Steve Mann (in the photo on the left) is considered the father of augmented reality, he has been carrying various versions of his own devices for 34 years. The latest version of the Digital Eye Glass glasses with a simple design on a straight aluminum shackle Steve Mann began to wear in 1999, he also developed for her computer vision algorithms HDR (High Dynamic Range) .
Steve Mann in his blog told about the blatant incident that happened to him on July 1, 2012 in Paris, during a visit to McDonald's at Champs Elysees Avenue, 140.
Knowing about possible problems with unauthorized shooting in public places, Steve Mann presented documents for his glasses as well as a letter from the doctor at the entrance to McDonalds. The employee (hereinafter referred to as Possible Witness 1) examined the documents and agreed to let Steve and his family go to the fast-food restaurant as visitors.

Steve's daughter paid for the order at the checkout because she wanted to practice French, and the cashier (Possible Witness 2) praised her for her good knowledge of the language. They sat down together at a table not far from the entrance, so that Steve could calmly watch the passersby through the window. At that moment, strange things began to happen: a man approached Steve Mann (Criminal 1) and began angrily to take pictures of Digital Eye Glass from a scientist. But since the device is firmly fixed, it cannot be done without special tools.
Then Offender 1 dragged him to two other people, one of whom was sitting at the table (Criminal 2), and the other had a T-shirt with the company logo, as well as a broom and dustpan in the hands (Criminal 3). The scientist gave them the documentation and the doctor’s letter, but after studying the Criminal 2 and the Criminal 1 they broke the doctor’s letter and destroyed the documentation.
Steve Mann noticed that offender 1 had a badge on his belt - and looked at him, then Offender 1 hastily closed the document with his hand, after which he dragged the scientist by force and pushed him out into the street.
Due to the physical damage to the device (either a blow to the pavement or a physical impact), the computer in augmented reality glasses stopped working, and therefore he could not record any more information. As a result, the last few minutes remained in the device’s memory. In other words, having damaged the device, the Criminal 1 thereby automatically photographed himself and his accomplices.
