Google Glass Is Still a Bad Idea

Google ended its Glass Explorer programa yr ago , bring a welcome end to the experiment . But Google Glass is not stagnant . or else , the deviceis being upraise as a tool for work , and government regulator just released picture of a prototype .

Guess what ? The new Glass looks just like the old Glass , and sounds just as pointless as ever .

We knew this was coming . When Google retire the consumer - facing program , it was widely reported that Glass would find a home in factories and infirmary . There , professional could put the technology to use making widgets and saving lives . Despite earlier rumors that Google Glass 2.0would be a sensible cartridge clip - on attachmentfor regular glass or guard goggles , unexampled imagesreleased by the Federal Communication Commission ( FCC)show that the “ Enterprise Edition ” of the wearable equipment is in reality bigger and bulkier . That provides room for a new Intel Atom CPU , a 5 - GHz wifi ring , and a better battery . The new Glass also folds , just like regular glasses .

blase technical school journalists rushed to get across the new range , which remain slightly shroud in whodunit since Googlehasn’t acknowledgedthe new translation of Glass . Breathless headlines depict the nearly identical rise as “ sleeker ” and “ revamped . ” But gravely , raise your hand if you tell the remainder between sure-enough Glass :

And new Glass :

This is not to pink Modern or transformative technologies . But Google Glass is never go to be one , so why does the company keep seek ? And if they ’re fit to keep at it , ca n’t they try harder than this ? Indeed , the very futurist mankind of heads - up displays is already exchange how anyonefrom soldierstomotorcycle driversgoes about their day . But something has always matte off about Google ’s pursuit of a synagogue - mount camera with a teeny concealment attached to it . When Glass was still a Google X project , it seemed like a wacky way to do some R&D on voice recognition and user interface design . By the prison term models werewearing Glass on Diane Von Furstenberg ’s runway show , the whole circus felt like a marketing ploy , and it remained unclear if the twist would ever offer any real world applications .

Hiding Google Glass in the work is n’t pass away to intercept the populace from worrying about the equipment invading their privacy . ( The new version does have an index number light source that turns on when the camera is in use . ) Meanwhile , it seems obvious that augment world devices , likeSony ’s silly undercover agent gogglesorMicrosoft ’s still experimental HoloLens , can offer more features than Google ’s tiny little prism . After all , doctors arealreadyusing virtual reality for medical aim .

Google and its new parent company Alphabet are free to grow whatever technology they desire . It ’s just a shame that the society is drop money hand over fist on a useless gadget when it could be fundingits own inquiry to find a curative for malignant neoplastic disease . The media — this blog included — clay queerly unhinge by Glass , which seems to be encouraging Google to keep pursuing the dumb idea . Then again , Silicon Valleyis drown inthose these days .
