How Windows Holographic can succeed where Google Glass failed

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Adam Doud

Here’s the thing. I don’t get Google Glass. I never have. At first, it seemed like a Bluetooth headset, only more pretentious. It was a vague concept that you can use to “connect without disconnecting,” or while “staying in the moment” or some other kind of marketing drivel. Then it was priced at $1,500, and I only stopped laughing about that last week, which is when they coincidentally pulled Google Glass off the shelves, presumably with a dust buster close at hand.Earlier, we were ...

Big changes coming to Google Glass this year, including new hardware

Posted on January 15, 2015 by Stephen Schenck

What’s next for Google Glass? It was supposed to be the next big thing, it arrived in limited form… and then it seemed to lose a lot of its momentum. Was interest in the project being killed by the rise of smartwatches, delivering on the wearable dream while doing so through a much more approachable form factor? In the latter months of the 2014, it sounded like there could still be a future for Glass this year, even despite uncertain interest from the public – one of the few specific things ...

Google and Intel partner for the future of Google Glass

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

Google Glass hasn’t necessarily taken the world by storm, and the reasons go beyond Google’s price tag. People still debate if this is a product worth buying, and even worth using at times when the public has a hard time accepting that you permanently use a camera to face them. We’ve already heard that Google is pushing the launch of

Google Glass reportedly delayed due to lack of interest

Posted on November 17, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

One of the biggest questions of the year, and even last year if you think of it, is the status of Google Glass. It’s amazing that Google began to tease a future of Glass since 2012, and now that we’re reaching the end of 2014, we still don’t have a product ...

Your smartwatch might get you in trouble at the movies

Posted on October 29, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

The entertainment industry’s got a bit of a love/hate relationship with tech. While the rise of portable devices, higher-than-ever internet speeds, and ubiquitous connectivity, it’s become incredibly easy these companies to sell you content. Suddenly feel the urge to watch Caddyshack? Hop on a service like Google Play Movies, and you’re just a tap or two away from a streaming copy. But that same tech also makes it easy for pirates to capture and distribute extremely high-quality copies of the same media. As such, media companies have taken a hard-line stance against tech ...

Google design patent may hint at next-gen Glass

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

What’s next for Google Glass? We just heard about a minor hardware upgrade earlier this summer, but we’re talking big moves: when’s Google going to come out with a commercially viable sub-$1000 Glass that shoppers can pick up from retail stores? The question’s been hanging over our head for literally years at this point, and Google doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry to answer it. But ...

Does Google need to clarify its Glass resale policy?

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

When Google first started selling Google Glass, availability was highly limited; potential buyers had to make their case for why they should be allowed into the Glass Explorer program, before even getting a chance to fork over $1500 for the wearable. And Google, having gone to all the trouble of cherry picking users like that, made it very clear in the terms of use for Glass that anyone caught renting, selling, or even giving away their headset faced Google remotely deactivating ...

Google announces new Glass hardware, software upgrades

Posted on June 24, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

For all the talk we make about wanting Google to open the floodgates on Glass, lowering the price and making it widely available to users interested in embracing this brave new world of wearable technology, it’s easy to forget that Glass still isn’t a finished product. Last fall, for example, we learned of some minor changes Google was making to Glass’s hardware, tweaking how Glass would work with prescription ...

Google Glass confirmed to be coming to the UK

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Wearables are shaping-up to be a major focus of Google I/O this year, and with the conference just about ready to get underway, we’re not far from learning what Google has to share. One rumor we recently checked out concerns availability of Glass, and instead of tackling the usual “when will this become affordable and easy to buy” question, it looked to the issue of international availability: when would anyone but curious wearables enthusiasts in the US get a change to call Glass their ...

Google Glass may be ready to make international debut

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Sales of Google Glass feel like they’re approaching a crossroads. Google’s removed the initial exclusivity from its Glass Explorer program, opening sales to any eligible shopper with $1500 to spend. We’ve been wondering if Google could finally be ready to move Glass forward into its next phase, targeting even broader audiences with a lower price. It’s still unclear just when, how, (or hell, if) that might happen, but a new rumor has arrived to offer another stab at what Google could be up to for ...

Google may turn to carriers for start of Glass retail sales

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Right now, Google Glass is stuck in this unusual middle ground, somewhere between a pre-release prototype and a finished consumer product. Certainly sales are a lot more open today than they were with early days of the Glass Explorer program, but we’ve yet to hit that tipping point where the wearable’s price drops to an approachable level and it sees the scope of its sales greatly expand. For well over a year by now, we’ve been wondering about just how that shift might happen, and a lot of the ...
