Kickstarter of the Week is a regular series highlighting the technology, creative and innovation Kickstarter campaigns in Baltimore that might be worth your support. See others here.
Local 3D-printer and maker enthusiast Todd Blatt is one of nearly 10,000 Google Glass Explorers, the cadre of early-adopters invited specifically by Google to test out the tech giant’s new wearable technology.
But already concerns about Glass privacy have arisen: how do people on the street know that a Glass wearer isn’t taking photos and videos of them as they pass?
Blatt has one answer: the GlassKap, a 3D-printed nylon attachment for Google Glass that covers the Glass lens, letting everyone know that you, Glass enthusiast, are not taking a video of them tripping over a curb.
To manufacture these lens covers en masse, Blatt is looking to raise $1,500, which he’s doing through a Kickstarter campaign.
