On November 27th, according to foreign media reports, Google co-founder Sergey Brin has been releasing Google glasses for two and a half years, and now the "computer" worn on his face is on the verge of death. It's still not a fashionable consumer product, and even far from the "things people want", except for some Google Glass Explorers who spent $1,500 to experience this pair of glasses.
Although Google said it is still committed to the improvement and development of Google Glass, several companies, including Twitter, have stopped developing applications for it. Google Glass developer Barbucks Pavez left Google in July to become Amazon's vice president, where he is exploring new areas of technology. Some early adopters are also tired of this device. James Katz, head of the emerging media research department at Boston University's School of Communication, said: "I found it not very useful, and wearing such a device is easy to cause trouble for people around."
Most of this is Google's fault. It didn't take years to secretly develop the device, but instead threw out an early beta version of the product that had some features but looked pretentious. Google hopes that software developers will develop some killer apps, and it hopes that people wearing Google Glass will play the role of a missionary. Possibly, this does give Google a lot of valuable advice from the experience, but it has also been criticized in various ways. Looking at a computer rack on a person's nose makes some people very angry. Those explorers are called "glassholes" by many people.
However, despite Google's failure, the technology will not disappear. For decades, the idea that "smart glasses mean allowing people to extract digital information at a glance" has always attracted loyal fans such as Sad Steiner. It is understood that Stena has been manufacturing and wearing such equipment since 1993, which can be said to be a pioneer in the field of smart glasses. Researchers will continue to explore until the technology is truly integrated with the glasses, rather than floating on it.
Imagine, after many years, someone wearing smart glasses that are not noticeable. The pair of smart glasses have a small display on the lens, while the electronic accessories and battery are hidden in the frame, and voice control if possible. Such a device will no longer be bothering people around. It is just a few more components than ordinary glasses, providing you with a head-up display that navigates and translates logos. An unpleasant smart eyewear will surely inspire software developers to try again to develop interesting new apps.

The current version of Google Glass has a prismatic display that stands out from the frame and can't be ignored. When the display is turned on, no one else can see the bright, small image that the wearer sees. Even if the display is turned off, the prismatic thing is in front of the line of sight of your right eye, and it is impossible to ignore its existence.
A device that works like this will require an inconspicuous display. One solution might be the product being developed by Lumiode, a startup that uses LEDs to make microdisplays. Typically, the LED acts as a light source behind the display, and light passes through the filter to form pixels that together form an image. Instead of using a filter, Lumiode treats each LED as a pixel by adding a layer of transistors on the LED to control the illumination.
Lumiode founder and CEO Vincent Lee said the technology could make a small display that is 10 times brighter and more energy efficient than displays made by other technologies. This also makes it easier to integrate a single display into regular glasses, and the battery size can be greatly reduced, and the outdoor glasses can work better.
battery
Even if the display can become inconspicuous and more energy efficient, smart glasses still need batteries that can support their continuous use throughout the day and are greatly reduced in size.
The battery is small and the smart glasses work all day, which will require a combination of technologies. First, the software must be optimized to be more energy efficient. Imprint Energy's small, flexible, rechargeable batteries can be hidden in the frame, thus avoiding the disadvantages of lithium-ion batteries.
In addition, energy harvesting technology continues to charge the battery. A company called Perpetua Power is developing technology that uses human body heat to produce electricity. In theory, smart glasses can extend battery life through micro-thermally-conducting generators that come into contact with the skin. Currently, Perpetua's components are too large - 1 cm by 2 cm. Each such component can only produce electrical energy for wristband work that maintains health monitoring.
Where we are
Google has been working hard to make Google Glass more stylish, and it has also partnered with LuxotTIca ​​Group, the world's largest eye manufacturer. In addition, it also cooperated with well-known designer Diane von Furstenberg to design a series of new and fashionable frames and glass covers for Google Glass.
In November, outside of a design conference held at Google, Google Glass chief designer Isabella Olsen said that although Google always tries to make glasses as fashionable as possible, it is essential to let people wear a head-up display. Still have to provide consumers with more choices of frames and colors. She said, “The method of providing consumers with more fashion choices may sound a bit old, but it is more important than miniaturizing the technology.â€
Analysts believe that Olsen is not expected to smash Google Glass. After all, she works for Google. Like many employees inside Google, glasses are her children. But her "fashion frame is enough to attract more users" is wrong. As long as there is still a conspicuous computer on the nose of people, people will regard Google glasses as "a product that is not worth considering." Fashion frames don't solve the problem unless the technology has been dissolved into the frame. However, at present, the industry very much agrees with Olson's view that this is a digital game. Her explanation is: The more people wear smart glasses, the more normal it looks. After all, ordinary glasses that have been around for more than 700 years have only become popular in the last century.
