What’s happening with Google Glass?
Onto another much talked about Google invention – Google Glass.In recent weeks it seems that the trajectory of the project has changed, moving out of Google’s experimental Google X labs to be a stand alone product, heading towards being a full on consumer product in the next-to-near future.
Still being headed up by Ivy Ross, Glass will also now be overseen by Tony Fadell who also runs Google’s line of Nest Devices. An important detail in all of this? The Google Glass explorer program ended on January 19th.
Expect Google Glass to be subject to some pretty significant, more user friendly changes between now and then, likely more so with the design and user accessibility then the software.
Ivy Ross, and Tony Fadell both have a design heavy background, and Fadell was the designer of the original iPod. As well as making the product more user friendly, the aim has to be to make it a much more lauded product – instead of the punchline of so many tech/hipster/douchebag jokes.
Although they have a lot to overcome, including a lot of people’s seemingly insurmountable personal security concerns, hopefully for Google’s sake, from now on, we’ll hear less ” I got punched in the face for wearing Google Glass” stories and more “Google Glass is awesome” stories.
