Back in 2013, people couldn’t stop talking about Google Glass. It turned out to be a tremendous statement and Google later hyped the glasses more than any other endeavor they were working on. The only problem was that, while the prototype models that a few fortunate souls were using worked fantastic, information about price points or a release date never came.
Subsequently, in January 2015, Google shut down the ‘Explorer’ program and moved the job out of the Google X development center. Because of this, many believed that Google outright left the glasses completely in the dust… as it turns out, that is not the situation.
While the glasses are no longer at Google X, the project remains moving forward, with a concentration on preparing a consumer model.
“It’s a large and extremely essential platform for Google… we stopped the Explorer project and the press exaggerated this action claiming that we are canceling the entire job, which is not accurate. Google is about taking risks and there is nothing about fixing Glass that suggests we are stopping it. It’s like saying the self-driving car is a disappointment because it’s not driving me around NOW.”
According to Schmidt, Fadell was added to the job, “to prepare [Google Glass] for users.”
There is still no way to tell when Google Glass will reach retailers, or how much it’ll cost. However, it is clear that Google is devoted to making the glasses a final product even if it takes a little more time than everyone anticipated.

Such as the Google Glass is a perfect remote-teaching tool.
A mechanic from Japan car factory can show a mechanic in Germany how to handle things.
I could be teaching african kids in school, at home from here.
Which is why i hope such glasses come to market!
