NDM Story #29 I enjoyed my week in Google Glass, but those around me weren't so keen




Google Glass

Google Glass has been one of the most interesting developments in wearable technology in the past four years. The man pictured above got the chance to wear a set for a whole week late last year: but is it any good Glass has been an expensive experiment for Google. It was produced under the guise of an “Explorer Programme” – a prototype that needed real-world testing to cement which features worked and which didn’t beyond the isolated world of Silicon Valley. He insisted that he enjoyed his Google Glass experience, however as the  talked about glasses are no longer being sold, not everyone has been a fan of it.

Google glasses latest announcement shocked audiences when they stated the glasses will no longer be sold anymore. After being on the market for a year, it is a shame that they are being discontinued so soon but like any technology it is about trial and error, some things will work and some things won't. The glasses were also quite expensive, which I believe was a factor towards the poor sales.
