This is a normal post Weird
I can't find any reference to a reason given for attacking his face-machine. Maybe they're just morbidly technophobic?

This is a normal post Yeah, it is odd.
The only possible thing I can think, and this is going out on a limb, is maybe they thought it was some kind of camera and they got really hissy at the idea of him filming?

Or they thought he actually was Robocop.

This is a normal post Nice, I want some of those glasses!
But why wasn't his first call to the police? Fairly clear case of assault, witnesses, photos, should be pretty easy for them.

This is a normal post yeah looks like he just wants an apology
I was more interested in the glasses than the story really, seems to be a genuine innovator/altruist.

This is a normal post And there's the rub
True story, or PR?

This is a normal post The French probably assaulted
him for eating in McDonalds rather than trying their proper food. That said, he might have augmented reality taste buds too.

This is a normal post A lot of people just don't like being filmed and get wound up.
when this tech becomes mainstream we're going to see a lot of this.

Put aside the fact that some cultures consider making an image of themselves a sin you've got situations like where it just would not be acceptable to sit there with a camcorder. So why these?

This is a normal post Hmmm, Like when people film the police these days and are surprised when they get grumpy..

This is a normal post It's more the fact that these glasses are trying to make socially acceptable covert filming of the public.

This is a normal post Poor chap - must be pretty terrifying to have someone try to yank something from you which is permanently screwed on to your skull.
