It seems that Google Glass was not ready for prime time when it launched. Now, as in the next couple of years, seems to be the inflection point for the whole ecosystem. Apple is also supposedly preparing for a launch of their glasses.
I see tremendous use cases for these glasses in all sorts of workplaces from surgery, dermatology, hair stylists, factory assembly, horticulturists to potentially nefarious uses cases like the police and military.
Welcome to the brave new meta world.
- Grakel 5y agoYep, and Google will fail to foresee practical needs and cancel the project in less than five years.
- rbanffy 5y agoIt'll stop investing on it the very moment they cease to perceive it as an existential threat. That's more or less what Google does.
- moksly 5y agoThose glasses have been used in elderly care here in Denmark for quite a while. Nurses who treat wounds use a set of glasses to document the process so they don’t have to switch in and out of gloves a million times. I wouldn’t too much about the big American advertisement companies getting a lead on it, considering how little they are trusted outside the US in anything related to enterprise. Those glasses I mentioned are actually Google glass if I recall correctly, but with some completely different software because naturally you can’t use Google software to document patient data in the EU.
