At the time, Glass looked rather clunky and was still considered to be in the prototype phase. While a newer version did improve the design, it wasn't enough to make a huge difference in sales. The second reason is the concerns consumers had about the product possibly collecting data from users or being vulnerable to hacking from outsiders. However, Google isn't entirely finished with its Glass ambitions.
In May , the company released the second version of its Enterprise Edition model. This pair of glasses are advertised as a risk-free means of increasing productivity in the workplace, as the screen inside the right lens allows employees to multitask without the need of turning to a phone, another program, or another computer. As a result, while it's no longer commercially available as a retail product, Google Glass still does exist. Source: Google.

Eventually, the videos showed user-friendly information instantaneously appearing on-screen during everyday activities. Rather than augment reality, Glass simply supplemented it. The three- to five-hour battery life enabled users to check messages, view photos, and search the Internet. Glass was competing with other devices that boasted superior cameras, larger capacities, and faster processors.
Would users be comfortable wearing a camera around their faces every day? Others were less comfortable being on the other side of Glass. Some bars and restaurants barred wearers from entry; several simply banned the device altogether.
In pricing Glass high and limiting access to a specific community of Glass Explorers, Google simply emphasized the division between the haves and have-nots. People spend egregious sums on luxury items , but they find value with identity.
Google Glass seems to be lacking in the department. Google then tried to associate the product with fashion designers. Glass was featured during Fashion Week and in relevant advertisements. In other words, the company tried to buy coolness. However, the coolness associated with an invention assumes the element of faith—the brand is trustworthy.
Glass is not meant for mass consumption—not at this moment. Google is both behind the times and ahead of them. Nevertheless, Project Glass may be a moonshot worth taking, if Google can stick the landing. Currently, Google is using Glass technology in manufacturing settings to help make jobs safer. Called Glass Enterprise Edition, Google has developed devices to help manufacturer workflow.
These devices clip into glasses or safety goggles, allowing for faster job completion by providing key information without being a distraction. X Development. YouTube, Google Developers. YouTube, Google. X, the moonshot factory.
Top Stocks. Tech Stocks. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Tilting your head up does the same thing. You can take a photo or record a video, all by just saying the command for it — more on that, later. On the right, is a touchpad where you can swipe through, to get to menus; tapping, registers your selection.
Google Glass users can now live in the moment, and keep that memory in pictures or videos. No more foraging around for a camera , tuning the settings of your photo apps , and letting the moment go by without a single snap. Just say, "Take a Photo" and your view at the moment is captured, hands-free. Imagine the possibilities. Other than photos, you can do the same with videos, which spells opportunities for extreme sports , real-life tutorials and more. With Glass being able to record videos, it can also act as a webcam with the data connection from your home or smartphone.
You can use Google Hangout for a group conference , and still do what you need to do without being confined to a desk. The powerful voice input feature also allows you to dictate text messages, attach videos and pictures alongwith and sending it via your mobile data connection, without having to remove your phone from your pocket.
In fact, this is the perfect example of augmented reality. When we talk about user interface UI in computing, we're referring to how a computer program or system
