Google Glass For Work Is Sleeker, Tougher and Foldable (engadget.com)
An anonymous reader writes: FCC filings published today are offering a glimpse of the "Enterprise Edition" of Google Glass. According to Engadget: "...The work-focused eyepiece touts a much slicker (and likely more durable) design with both a larger display prism and a hinge that lets you fold it up for travel. The test photos also reveal a spot for a magnetic battery attachment and what looks to be a speedier Atom processor. There's still no word on when Google will announce this headset, although the FCC presence hints that it might not take long."
What company is going to let its employees bring in spyware?
The world already has too many glassholes.
Fuck them and Google.
I was under the impression from reading other stories that Google already has multiple enterprise clients (i.e. in the Pharmaceutical industry, among others) who are already using enterprise versions of Google Glass.
really?! seems throwing money at product development seems to make developers ever more blind to the obvious defects in the whole concept of this device.
Have they solved the problem of perverts using devices like these in public washrooms? Like do the devices detect when they're being used in a washroom, and automatically shut themselves down to prevent any recording from taking place?
Let's say I get stuck going to a database conference. The venue also happens to be hosting a Ruby on Rails conference at the same time. Well, I would not be surprised if some of the Rubyists had glasses like these. I would also not be surprised if they wore them while going to the washroom. If I were in that washroom, I would NOT want these disgusting Rubyists to be able to record me urinating! I can just picture them leering over the top of the urinal divider, trying to catch a glimpse of my cock. It disgusts me that people could try stuff like that.
I really, really hope that these kinds of devices have safeguards to prevent incidents like that from ever happening. They need to have some kind of auto shutdown to prevent that kind of perverse recording.
Makes it so much easier when we strangle some glasshole with their own pair.
What irony! Once touted as the must-have toy for hipsters, Google Glass is now actually becoming a tool to steer and control human minimum-wage working drones in warehouses. Feel a pity for all who'll be obliged to wear such at work.
How long until we get a final word on the effective of NAD+ supplements in humans? And when it will be affordable for working-class people?
And while we are at it, how about successful telomere lengthening?
We are all speeding towards our graves, for God's sakes, and we need these things to prevent our demise! This is WAY more important than a fancy headset that lets you check the weather via voice commands.
The world's priorities are all screwed up. We have immortality within our grasp and it's like nobody cares.
would probably be a better way to market it.
Sleeker, tougher, and more foldable was never the problem. Usefulness was. They should fix the battery life and the available applications before they start worrying about aesthetics. Glass was just a really expensive camera that took bad pictures, and that was the main problem with it.
if you look at me.
Can it survive a punch in the face?
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
Oh great, now I can be a more stylish Glasshole.
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
what indicates that they have put in an Intel Atom processor? i looked through the pictures and didn't see anything from Intel.
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
I guess there's someone new over there willing to fuck Sergey.
Dammit, why is this v2? All I wanted was the cheapest possible ultralight head-mounted HUD. Basically, a Glass with no processor and no fancy gadgets. I already have a wireless mobile computing device.
