Steve Mann, the "father of wearable computing," has been physically assaulted while visiting a McDonalds in Paris, France.
The Canadian university professor was at the restaurant with his
family when three different McDonalds employees took exception to his "Digital Eye Glass"
device and attempted to forcibly remove it from his head. Mann was then
physically removed from the store by the employees, along with having
his support documentation destroyed.
This may be the first ever recorded assault of a person instigated by the prominent display of a Google Glass-like wearable computer.
