Google Glass
In 2013, Google released Google Glass. Google Glass is a high tech pair of glasses. However, Google Glass was a giant failure. It was an expensive piece of technology that cost people $1500.
People were concerned about privacy. Establishments began to ban the device because they were concerned people would record private conversations. There were also safety concerns. People wondered what would happen if you wore the device while driving.
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2
In 2018, the FCC passed Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2. However, the new technology is geared towards businesses and not the everyday consumer.
Google designed the product for people in manufacturing and the logistics industry. The device is created to improve workplace efficiency.
You can access training videos, images with instructions, and a quality assurance checklist. Experts can see what you see through a live stream. The Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is for collaboration and troubleshooting.
Companies that use the technology are listed on their website. For example, AGCO reported that they have seen 25% reduction in production time on low volume, complex assemblies.
Conclusion
On February 7, Google had the product certified. It could be brought up in a more public way as early as May.
People consider Google Glass as a failure, but it may find more success in businesses.
Google may face competition as there is already augmented reality glasses on the market. People can purchase the Vuzik Blade.
The Blade offers the ability to check social media, interact in a light augmented reality, and the ability to take HD photographs and record videos. The Blade can adapt for business use. There is even an app you can put on your phone to create a more in-depth experience. This product sells for $999. As a competitor, it can be cheaper than the new Google Glass.
