Google Glass Myo Armband Gesture Control Plus Internal Unobtrusive Lenses Masks Cameras, Makes Glass Totally Hands-Free, ‘Less Creepy’, ‘Happening Wearable’: Google Glass ‘faces’ two imminent challenges to get over the hump of social negativity it has been facing since its inception. The first is to slash the price from the current $1300 to a price tag well below its original $1000 for its Explorer program. And the second biggest challenge for Glass is to going to be for Google to come up with unique apps and functions that make the Glass more user friendly.
The price will have to guided by using less expensive materials and marketing them as actual prescription glasses. This idea goes a long way because those who need a prescription glass will be excited to have a Google glass as well. Most analysts are of the opinion that the Glass has great potential. Even the U.S. army is interested in developing it for military strategies.
According to reports, Google watchers are eagerly awaiting the second version of Google Glass; this is a ‘huge development,’ halles.com reported. Mitchell Heinrich has redesigned the Google Glass so that it doesn’t look like ordinary specs or an obtrusive video camera attached to it.
The move is to try and get clients to walk around with smaller devices on their heads, making it less threatening and more enjoyable to the user. Google has tried this before when the y collaborated with design experts “Diane Von Furstenberg to create DVF: Made for Glass a range of Furstenberg-designed headsets which proved to be even more expensive than Standard glass without being any less odd-looking.”
Rumors cite the Glass Almanac as saying a patent that has been given to Google, for moving the projector on the Google glass to the insider of the frame. If Google fans are able to stick along with the designs, a redesign and release are in the near future for Google’s Google Glass. The ’inside the frame’ concept goes a long way because it does not reveal a camera or a video camera on top of the glass. This makes Google Glass more stylish and makes the user seem more sociable.
Another invention that has been touted is an armband dubbed ‘Myo’ that coordinates gestures with the Glass. Canadian firm Thalmic Labs cofounder Matthew Bailey told the Forbes, “We’re literally changing the way that we, as people, interact with the digital world around us,” But are wearables more buzz that substance? “We’d argue that wearables have “happened,” Bailey explains.
“If you look around, people are already wearing technology today whether that be a traditional watch or a smartphone on their arm when they go for a run.”
