The Google Glasses were supposed to be filled with some futuristic glasses technology, capable of replacing some smartphone features and bring freedom to the user with further innovative functions.
Although this “intent” sounds the reality, because the project exists and some people use it, the fact is that reports cyborg-like eyewear Reuters show that such devices are dying.
While Reuters does not seem to have any evidence that the project was “filed” action Google denies that the agency did not paint a picture surprise about the current interest in the technology.
Nine of sixteen developers of apps for Google Glass, who contacted Reuters, said they abandoned their projects, including one that developers who earned $ 10,000 for his efforts.
“The Collective, Glass” an institution of venture funding, which would serve to support the development of apps for the Google Glass also quietly disappeared. Three of the key Google employees have also left the company. Furthermore, a source told Reuters that advanced the launch of Google consumer Glass was delayed there for 2015 …
Still, Google says that the launch will still happen, sooner or later. “ We are as committed as ever to launch to a consumer. This will take time and we will not release this product until you are absolutely ready , “said Google told Reuters.
And although Google Glass has not had a stage presence splashy in Conferences Developers Google I / O this year, the company has not abandoned exactly there . In fact, Google may be looking for new usage scenarios of Glass in workplaces: Taco Bell and KFC are considering the possibility of Glass can be used to help train your staff
Thus, even without official data, the project seems indeed doomed to failure.
