Google still working on Glass, screen-free version might be in the works
The first iteration of Google Glass died down unceremoniously. But Google isn’t giving up on the idea as evidenced by the rebranded Project Aura and the company taking in some of the unlucky laid off Amazon engineers. There hasn’t been that much details about the rebranded Google Glass project but we do know it’s still headed by Ivy Ross and there are three versions of it. One is an Enterprise Edition, another is glass-less version, and last is a “sport” model.
The Enterprise Edition is rumoured to already be used in some industries, while the glass-less version is believed to the version Italian eyewear brand Luxottica is working on. And the sport version is said to rely on bone conduction and focuses more on audio instead of visuals. One of these have been dropped though supposedly but we have no clue which one. Also it seems the goal now is more of an unobtrusive virtual assistant that isn’t as bulky as its predecessor. We just have to wait and see what Google is cooking up with this one.
