Google Glass created great excitement when it was announced. After the initial curiosity faded, its privacy concerns, price, battery life, and even its appearance were heavily criticized, and Google announced that it had ended the Google Glass project for personal use. Announcing its shift from consumer glasses to enterprise products, Google finally announced the product after about 2 years.

Utilizing the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 platform designed specifically for augmented reality, Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is highlighted with features such as better performance, battery life, improved camera, dedicated processing units for artificial intelligence, and the new standard Type-C connection.

According to Google’s statement, Glass Enterprise Edition 2 will help employees across various sectors, from logistics to manufacturing and active field use scenarios, do their jobs more efficiently with the information and tools they need to complete their work. Employees will be able to use Glass to access checklists, view instructions, or send inspection photos or videos. Thanks to this, it is said that enterprise customers can achieve faster production times, improved quality, and lower costs by using Glass.

Solutions like Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap One, and Google Glass cannot currently reach the end user due to their prices and many other reasons. As for virtual reality headsets like HTC Vive, Oculus, and PS VR; they are either a torture to use or not satisfying enough.

It looks like people interested in the personal use of virtual reality and augmented reality hardware and software will be waiting for a longer time. Still, it is promising that many companies continue to work by receiving heavy investments for augmented reality, holographic imaging, and similar technologies in the corporate sense.
