Unfortunately, you're on a ten foot wide sidewalk and certainly aren't expecting the beeper to be about you.

This applies to the current device/software/apps, part of what we are trying to do with OpenGlass is push it past being a "beeper on your face" because that only applies to the segment of people to whom getting notifications faster than you do with your phone matters.
