The second generation of Google Glass could be released in no time, despite rumors that the company has left the project. The CEO of Italian eyewear maker Luxottica, Massimo Vian, said yesterday in Milan that the features of the upcoming device will be released soon.
Vian's company became one of Google's partners in March of 2014. Viam could not reveal the exact release date.
Headed by Tony Fadell, who leads marketing, Google seems to be trying to visualize second-generation glasses, not just as a tech nerds device but as a useful product for everyone.
Vian reported according to Phonearena that the version 2 of Google Glass, has already been prepared and the development team is working on ideas for 3.
Project manager Google Glass, Ivy Ross, has already said that the next version of Glass will be cheaper (the first model would cost 1500 dollars), and provide better visuals and sound quality. They will also be equipped with a longer battery.
Until today, however, none of the above seems to have been an obstacle to its sales product.
Rather exogenous factors do not accept and do not establish the product in the consumer's consciousness. Pubs, restaurants, cinemas, barred "Glassholes" from entering their halls, considering glasses users to be dangerous to "riding".
This is probably Ross's biggest problem. How can he soften the image of the product, transforming it from something that only stalkers use to a product that most people could wear it.
