Google Glass is coming back
Google Glass is just the natural evolution of the wearable. It will not replace smartphones, but will extend it. Everyone talks about the camera, but there were some fundamental issues with the Glass that have been addressed by wearables and advancing tech.<p>Do I have to touch my face to use it? Talking to it seemed awkward at the time, and voice interfaces for smartphones were still new in 2013. But now with Siri&#x2F;Ok Google&#x2F;Alexa, talking to a computer seems more natural. And it just works better.<p>What do I do with the screen? Wearables have shown that you don&#x27;t have to choose between a smart phone in and a watch, and they work better together. Expect better apps that display notifications or core information (like navigation) on the Glass but advanced features and configuration is still on the phone.<p>Do I look like an asshole? The first generation showed that people don&#x27;t want to wear something so alien. Wearables don&#x27;t look like Leela&#x27;s communicator. They look like watches.<p>Everyone saw this coming. The Glass was a bit early still for the tech, and people&#x27;s acceptance of it.
