Why Google Glass Failed... And Why It's Coming Back

Why Google Glass Failed... And Why It's Coming Back.
What happened to Google Glass? How does Google Glass work? Does Glass record video and take photos? Was Glass successful? What is Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2? How can I become a Google Glass Explorer? Does Glass us AR or VR in its smart glasses? Why were there privacy and safety issues surrounding the release of Glass? Was Google Glass a flop? Google Glass 2020 may see a revival.

We discuss how Google's Smartglasses tried to for a ubiquitous computer to revolutionise the way we live our lives and how an invention that struggled to get off the ground is now thriving in the manufacturing, logistics, engineering and healthcare industries. Here's How It Happened.

I'm holding out for the Apple version. The iPatch.

Carrying a GPS tracker, always on microphone, and camera everywhere is creepy? Do these people not have phones?

Watching this after the Apple AR glasses announcement 😅

In a book by Michael Crichton called "Airframe" he described 'Augmented Reality' glasses that aircraft engineers and builders wore for viewing 3D transparent schematic overlays in real time -- THAT WAS 25 YEARS AGO. In 'Actual Reality' humans are pathetically slow.

Dude, no phone is how you enhance your experience of life. But Google can never see this. Money.

The only reason why I’d probably get a pair of AR Glasses is for my job. Well, I’m young and don’t have a job, and I’m still in High School, but I have interests in Robots and 3D Mechanical Design and Engineering.

The thing is that I suck at 3D printing and most of the time my 3D prints fail either because a part is too big or too small in my mechanical machine.

With AR Glasses, I can actually see how big my parts are and how big they WILL be in real-life scale. That way I can plan ahead of time and make changes here and there.

I hope that this tech would get better and better, and that the tech would be cheaper than a mobile device soon.

I don’t care how ugly or beautiful the glasses are though. As long as they work!

I wondered where these things had gone!

[speedracer]

I remember when they came out and reminded me of DS 9 . The Cardassians wore them in combat .

[albertkristmas]

Why didnt they make it look like actual specs?

[tannerquigley]

I can see why you shouldnt wear it while driving lmao that's a fair point

[franklinsalazar]

If it didn't have a camera, maybe it wouldn't have failed. I hope that Apple's smartglasses do not have a camera until manufacturers learn how to keep that kind of stuff private.

Some video suggestions...
-Why Android Wear/Wear OS still hasn't caught up to the Apple Watch
-Why Microsoft Band failed
-Why Windows is making a comeback thanks to Sun Valley
-Why Google+ failed
-Why AirPower never made it to market
-Why Microsoft's browser is making a comeback
-Why AMD is beating Intel
-What is the M1 chip

For a channel with "How" in its name, there are a lot of "why" questions asked. 😅

Stop trying to make Glass happen! It’s never going to happen!
