Next Glass May Fold, But New Moverio is Built For Rugged Work

August 5, 2015 By Dan Rosenbaum

Next Glass May Fold, But New Moverio is Built For Rugged Work

It's far from impossible that Google, which did so much to plant the idea of a techie visor in the world's brain, will wind up seriously trailing the market it helped popularize. There are continuing slow leaks about the Enterprise Edition of Google Glass, but none of them really comes close products like Epson's Moverio BT-2000. The Moverios were never anything you'd wear … [Read more...]

New Enterprise Glass Details Reported

July 9, 2015 By Dan Rosenbaum

The drip of information about the Google Glass Enterprise Edition appears to have started. 9to5Google is citing "several sources familiar with advanced prototypes" as saying that the business-oriented version will have a larger display prism that's easier to see than the initial Explorer edition. Also, the site reports that Enterprise Glass will be powered by an Intel Atom … [Read more...]

Google Glass’s Enterprise Edition Makes Perfect Sense

July 6, 2015 By Dan Rosenbaum

There was a bunch of buzz over the US holiday weekend that Google has filed with the FCC information about an enterprise version of Google Glass, possibly called the GG1. It makes perfect sense. Most of the activity in smart headwear over the last few quarters has been in the enterprise space, not the consumer market. Google and Intel both have development deals with optics … [Read more...]

Google’s Project Soli Rethinks Interaction

Google took the wraps off Project Soli during its Google I/O developer conference, quietly introducing a highly sensitive motion sensor that could reshape how we interact with close-range devices. We've seen radar signals used in various ways, and generally in much larger sizes and forms than what Google unveiled at I/O. Project Soli, Google says, marks the first time radar … [Read more...]

What to Expect From Levi’s Deal with Google

What to Expect From Levi’s Deal with Google

A fashion designer at Google's annual I/O developer conference? Inconceivable. But with the unveiling of Project Jacquard, Google's touch-enabled material, it suddenly makes sense that Paul Dillinger, Levi Strauss’s head of global product innovation. could be seen wandering amidst developers. After all, the world of apps and fashion are about to collide, and Levi's will be … [Read more...]

Google’s Project Jacquard Transforms Clothing Into Wearables

Dr. Ivan Poupyrev is part of Google’s secretive ATAP division, a team of Googlers tasked with making the stuff of science fiction reality. Take Project Jacquard, introduced by Poupyrev not at Google I/O's 2015 keynote but rather at an under-the-radar standing-room-only session on the second day of the conference. Project Jacquard won't fly under the radar anymore. It was one … [Read more...]

Google I/O, Google's big developer fest, is coming at the end of May, and there's starting to be talk that the search giant will be showing off a new wearable. Mashable notices that Google's ATAP hardware team -- a hardware skunkworks geared toward rapid success or rapid failure -- is doing a session on May 29th at noon Eastern with a loopy but intriguing session description … [Read more...]

New Android Wear Functions Coming Soon

Google is talking officially about an upcoming update to Android Wear, an update that will include several interesting improvements to the UI. Several of the improvements are designed to trim the number of times that using your watch becomes a two-handed operation. You'll soon be able to move your way through screens by flicking your wrist instead of touching the screen. … [Read more...]

Google Glass Just Resting, Schmidt Tells WSJ

March 23, 2015 By Dan Rosenbaum

The much-maligned much-ballyhooed Google Glass really isn't dead, Google chairman Eric Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal today. It's being readied for the consumer market. The company pulled Glass from the market in January, shut down its "Explorers Program," and moved responsibility for the $1500 project to Tony Fadell's product group, which includes things like the Nest … [Read more...]

NYTimes on Google Glass: “It Wasn’t Supposed To Be That Way”

February 5, 2015 By Dan Rosenbaum

New York Times reporter Nick Bilton broke the story that became Google Glass. Today, he tells what went wrong, and it's really pretty simple: the marketers saw what the engineers were working on and put it out to the world far before it was ready. In other words, what happened was exactly what anyone with any sense knew what was going on. What happens next? Glass is now in … [Read more...]
