Google to release first smart glasses since Google Glass flop
Google is set to launch its first smart glasses since the failed release of Google Glass in 2013. The new smart glasses, named “Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2,” are designed for workplace applications such as healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics.
The announcement came from Google’s hardware division, which stated that the glasses would feature a more powerful processor, an improved camera, and longer battery life compared to the original Google Glass. The company aims to provide businesses with a hands-free device to assist workers in various tasks.
Google Glass, first released to the public in 2013, faced significant privacy concerns and was met with resistance due to its built-in camera and recording capabilities. The consumer version was discontinued in 2015, but Google continued to develop the technology for enterprise uses.
The new smart glasses will be running on Google’s Android operating system and are expected to integrate with other Google services to enhance productivity in work environments. The company hopes to redeem its reputation in the smart glasses market with a more focused and practical approach targeting specific industries.
Competing with the likes of Microsoft’s HoloLens and other augmented reality devices, Google aims to carve a niche for itself in the enterprise sector with its reimagined smart glasses, catering to the specific needs of businesses and professionals.
The Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is scheduled for release later this year, with pricing and exact availability details yet to be disclosed.
