You didn't mention that the "all-seeing eye" thing was of concern in certain areas because of its ability to record at any time, such as inside courtrooms and government offices where confidential information is being used, and movie theaters and music venue where copyright law is a concern.
@@PsychoKelly the majority of people who wanted to purchase the Google Glass already wore glasses, so why would you put your prescription glasses into your purse because of privacy concerns? It makes no sense to buy them in the first place if you’re going to have to be blind anytime you have to see something of importance.
Pretty sure you wouldn't be allowed to take it into a courtroom or anywhere with restrictions for cameras or recording devices. Unless ofc there aren't any for that specific case, in which case cool, not that big a deal if there's no restrictions for it.
@@dthbdbsfgh That "some company" will be Apple. They already filed a patent and are working on it. They'll bring it out for $1000, their cult followers will hype it up and buy it (whilst claiming Apple invented it of course) and it will become the norm to wear them.
@@dthbdbsfgh Interestingly though there are companies who did exactly that, smart glasses that looked good. Most went bankrupt or were bought out by Google et al.
I was lucky enough to have been picked by Google to own Google Glass. I was a student in New Media at UMaine at the time. I really enjoyed it... for the first couple of months. Then there were issues. One, I have prescription glasses and to get those cost more money, that I didn’t have. Two, yes, the battery was ridiculously bad. Three, the audio was really weird, basically it vibrated the noise against your skull and that’s how you heard. Four, it was too damn slow. Then, to add onto it, I dropped out of UMaine and my initial purpose for requesting them was no longer relevant. I think if Microsoft and Google were to work together on smart glasses (a love child between HoloLens and Glass) we could see something really cool that would be effective, and it might come this decade. I’ve always dreamed of being able to apply this kind of AR tech to things like air traffic control, it would help the guys in the tower out a lot with identifying aircraft. But this was exactly what you thought it would be: a prototype.
And the weird thing is that maybe in the future Apple will make something like this, then people will like it but have the same problems, its just that people like Apple more than Google, I like google.
Ah - the good old days when we were super excited about random technologies. Now these companies come out with something and we're like "wait - how does this consume my data?" - which is better than having some futuristic device.
I went to school nearby Google headquarters' so we all got to try them out and I actually thought they were really cool but the problem is who the fuck is going to talk to you if they think you could be secretly recording them without their permission? Plus as you mentioned, small battery and high price. I also find their pivot to business purposes silly considering HoloLens is far superior in that regard.
However, in recent years things have changed a lot. Recording someone without them knowing is all too easy and happens all the time with many different options like smartphones, dashcams and action cams, just to name a few. A small battery and high price is something that also proves to be valuable. Still so many people are willing to buy devices with low battery life for a high price. Case in point: iPhone batteries still suck, price tag still high. I think Google was just some years too far ahead.

Google Glass-like products would have to compete with Augmented Reality (AR) glasses. AR technology is still very much in its infancy and not ready for prime time. AR glasses as a whole are also up against mature technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and to a lesser extent First Person View (FPV) goggles. The whole schtick of AR tech is that you can see everything in front of you plus whatever it is you're controlling or interacting with. Hence the "augmented" portion of AR. However, this assumes that potential users are willing to multitask, which is just not what you're going to be doing when using VR headsets. As for FPV goggles they're something you'd wear while flying a drone. I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm still a bit skeptical of wearing AR glasses while flying. As with VR headsets I don't think I'd want to be distracted when I'm flying.

Ill give a quick review of my experience with my friend's google glass that I wore many years ago whenever we hung out... because it was funny. Call, picture, and sound quality were all terrible. There was no privacy to doing anything voice related. Even wearing them made our friends suspicious that we were taking pictures of them. One of my "friends" was my gf and yes it was easy to take naughty pictures discretely, but of terrible quality. The user interface was basically non-existent. Some of the minuscule number of features it had were not availlable making it even worse. You needed to focus away from anything you were doing to use the Glasses. So any positives were outdone by a simple smartwatch which would come years later. It was a terrible niche device with no redeeming qualities. Quickly dumped in the garbage bin by superior product ideas like the wireless earbuds or smartwatch. The whole idea was a product that could allow someone to take in more information than normal, and it was a complete failure in that aspect.
At first I was like, "man this guys been uploading often recently" until I realize... "oh shit, don't tell me this guys uploading like every day now. What?"
If they ever retry the concept in 10 years I want: ✅The ability to fit the device over regular glasses ✅A colored flap that covers the camera when not in use; notification/power conserve mode ✅ VR/AR + video support. (AR joysticks&buttons for phones.) ✅Open source 3rd party support & software prior to launch ✅ Lasers I know you're reading this Google bot make it happen
As an original explorer, I still have mine and use them from time to time. I LOVED them! I found them to be most useful for navigation while driving, especially at night in unfamiliar places. Also good for walking around and navigating unfamiliar cities. Also were amazing for POV video recording on rides.
The concepts between AR, VR, and mixing realities is something that really interests me and im sure itll come back eventually. VR tech is steadily growing with thinks like the Oculus Quest and the Quest 2 and i cant wait for a day when we have something that truly mixes real and virtual realities
what happen is it was using bone conduction technology. These frames go over your ear and in that spot is the mastoid cell of your skull. There are two important parts to this. Part 1: There is part of your brain for language/speaking, what it does, it automatically sends a signal to your vocal cords to vibrate the words you want to speak, then you push air out of lungs and thats how we hear each other out loud. But if you dont push the air out, your vocal cords are still vibrating. It is vibrating on your bone, sound travels thru your bones up near the mastoid cell which is by your inner ear (you will not hear this or read this from anywhere else, I seem to say it first) your inner ear is picking up that vibration which allows your to hear your "inner voice." Your "inner voice" ( your are going to trip out on this part, I could not believe it myself) is your voice that you hear in your own head, that will be your voice out loud, your inner voice, your thoughts , your thinking, your dreams when talking in your dream not out loud and also when having a conversation with someone in your dream it is all coming from your vocal cords. Your vocal cords mimic sounds from memory and your vocal cords vibrate it in your dreams. Your brain can not hear with out your ears. so your inner ear picks up vibration and sends to your brain. Part 2: We all know that your brain leaks signals, when you get an EEG reading it picking up signals leaking from your skull, right? What ever you look at, the cones and rods in your eye creates a sign and sends it thru the optic nerve. As the signal travels thru optic nerve, it makes a physical connection with your inner ear. Now the signal for vision is leaking thru inner ear which is by mastoid cell which is behind your ear. if you place and eeg tab behind ear and modification to eeg device to have an video out put for that tab and with the right software, vision can be seen from a monitor. this was proven back in 1999 at UC BERKLEY. You can go to UC Berkley website for research papers from YANG DAN "how an animal views the world" www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/10-15-1999.html here is video th-cam.com/video/rdrRtU6hgSc/w-d-xo.html So that has something to do with glasses they would be able to pick up your vision and hear your thoughts......
You're gettin' close, GamerFromMars. Been watching you silently for a long time now, it's nice to see you nearing that 1m goal. I hope it comes faster than expected!
Thank god !! from the last week I was searching for this product and keeps on wondering how it got vanished from the talk of net world...eventually I landed in your video and got my brain cleared....now I can sleep in peace.....
I've noticed this as well. But it's like he's not sure which direction he's supposed too breath....in or out....but for some reason always does the wrong one? I'm sure very few people have noticed that. Glad I'm not the only one. And I don't mean to be petty....but that's why I'm not subbed too him and catch videos at random. I just can't deal that weird breathing thing. lmao. But hey, looks like he's doing perfectly fine without my sub and pet peeve.
Wearables have improved since then but still run into durability issues and comfort issues. The bose speakers sunglasses seem cool but need some improvements. Augmented reality seems more suited to larger outdoor things(billboards,car windshields, glass doors) then tiny screens on your face.
What if Google launches it as a face shield. No one will find it weird if u are wearing one in 2021. Remember transparent smartphone from samsung? Sooner or later smartphone will be outdated
I remember a guy in my college program talking up how he was going to get these. I don’t think that ever happened. I actually don’t think that they look terrible but I wouldn’t spend $1,000 on them.
These are too underrated I wish society would see face technology as a form of fashion.And the possibility that these could have with a 2021 twist( real time Artificial intelligence assistant,remote computer screen paring,battery technology,real time text translator,wireless charger,and more). I would just add a on/off button for the camera and Mic.
you can still get google glass today, as a regular person, multiple companies even make specialized frames, and prescription lenses for them to make them look more like normal glasses.
well the phones definitely listen to you. way too often i talk about something without eve searching for it, and suddenly an ad about it pops up. pretty creepy
Was apart of the explorer program. I explored. Then sold them to a guy in the UK since they weren’t being invited yet. They were ok... but having to zip tie then to my prescription glasses sucked. I played with with it, got my money back. Wasn’t bad to just play with it and experience it first hand.
My friends and I were in high-school and such geeks for these at the time. We all wanted some so bad but in hindsight I'm kinda glad it didn't catch on.
glasses that record are a privacy issue, some countries have actually banned them due to this fact, this is most likely the reason why this was abandoned. if this wasnt prohibited from actual sale, then you would be able to find them anywhere and buy them, which is not the case, you simply cant buy them.

Some of the minuscule number of features it had were not availlable making it even worse. You needed to focus away from anything you were doing to use the Glasses. So any positives were outdone by a simple smartwatch which would come years later. It was a terrible niche device with no redeeming qualities. Quickly dumped in the garbage bin by superior product ideas like the wireless earbuds or smartwatch. The whole idea was a product that could allow someone to take in more information than normal, and it was a complete failure in that aspect.
Great vid. I honestly forgot Google Glass was a thing, and had no idea Microsoft and Amazon had their own variation.
I could still see smart glasses being a thing in the future. Ahead of its time
Thanks for the video, I remember being in high school hearing about these and being excited. Can’t remember the last time they came up in conversation
At first I was like, "man this guys been uploading often recently" until I realize... "oh shit, don't tell me this guys uploading like every day now. What?"
If they ever retry the concept in 10 years I want:
✅The ability to fit the device over regular glasses
✅A colored flap that covers the camera when not in use; notification/power conserve mode
✅ VR/AR + video support. (AR joysticks&buttons for phones.)
✅Open source 3rd party support & software prior to launch
✅ Lasers
I know you're reading this Google bot make it happen
I can’t wait until Apple release this as a completely new and innovative piece of hardware.
iGlass if you will.
I think they are already making those

My man be PUMPIN out the videos lately!! Love the videos mate it’s awesome you’re still doing this :)
As an original explorer, I still have mine and use them from time to time. I LOVED them! I found them to be most useful for navigation while driving, especially at night in unfamiliar places. Also good for walking around and navigating unfamiliar cities. Also were amazing for POV video recording on rides.
The concepts between AR, VR, and mixing realities is something that really interests me and im sure itll come back eventually. VR tech is steadily growing with thinks like the Oculus Quest and the Quest 2 and i cant wait for a day when we have something that truly mixes real and virtual realities
I still want google glass. The price was just far too high at the time
Congrats on 900k subs TGFM! been here since 777k!
Gfm still has rlly pretty eyes 😍😍
simpett?
I think its the ring light that does it, the reflection of it looks nice in his eyes
@@jesusllanas9318 simpettes think they aren't under our radar 🕵
Ngl yeah

usually what goes up must come down. and when it comes down, TheGamerFromMars has it covered. thanks man.
_Welp, good thing I waa watching one of your vids. Got reccomended this one!_ 😋👌
You’re being gae, stop it.
_No U_
Ah shii

These things are like smartwatches, they are a nice extra (if not a gimmick) but not a great replacement.
I'm waiting for Google contact lenses personally
what happen is it was using bone conduction technology. These frames go over your ear and in that spot is the mastoid cell of your skull. There are two important parts to this. Part 1: There is part of your brain for language/speaking, what it does, it automatically sends a signal to your vocal cords to vibrate the words you want to speak, then you push air out of lungs and thats how we hear each other out loud. But if you dont push the air out, your vocal cords are still vibrating. It is vibrating on your bone, sound travels thru your bones up near the mastoid cell which is by your inner ear (you will not hear this or read this from anywhere else, I seem to say it first) your inner ear is picking up that vibration which allows your to hear your "inner voice." Your "inner voice" ( your are going to trip out on this part, I could not believe it myself) is your voice that you hear in your own head, that will be your voice out loud, your inner voice, your thoughts , your thinking, your dreams when talking in your dream not out loud and also when having a conversation with someone in your dream it is all coming from your vocal cords. Your vocal cords mimic sounds from memory and your vocal cords vibrate it in your dreams. Your brain can not hear with out your ears. so your inner ear picks up vibration and sends to your brain. Part 2: We all know that your brain leaks signals, when you get an EEG reading it picking up signals leaking from your skull, right? What ever you look at, the cones and rods in your eye creates a sign and sends it thru the optic nerve. As the signal travels thru optic nerve, it makes a physical connection with your inner ear. Now the signal for vision is leaking thru inner ear which is by mastoid cell which is behind your ear. if you place and eeg tab behind ear and modification to eeg device to have an video out put for that tab and with the right software, vision can be seen from a monitor. this was proven back in 1999 at UC BERKLEY. You can go to UC Berkley website for research papers from YANG DAN "how an animal views the world" www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/10-15-1999.html here is video th-cam.com/video/rdrRtU6hgSc/w-d-xo.html
So that has something to do with glasses they would be able to pick up your vision and hear your thoughts......
everyone was too busy laughing at stadia to remember this
Yes they were laughing at stadia 5 years before its inception
You're gettin' close, GamerFromMars.
Been watching you silently for a long time now, it's nice to see you nearing that 1m goal. I hope it comes faster than expected!
Why it look like a scouter from dragon ball
ITS OVER *9000*
Because it is
@@cheems3668 more realistically it would be under 9000

Google Glass only appealed to bugmen and there aren't enough bugmen in this world to make the tech profitable
2:08 after a few seconds it becomes "googoo glass"
google: I introduce you to google glasses!
that worker: HA, four eyes!
google: I say goodbye to google glasses
Why use Google Glass when you can install Windows for your home?
Thank god !! from the last week I was searching for this product and keeps on wondering how it got vanished from the talk of net world...eventually I landed in your video and got my brain cleared....now I can sleep in peace.....
Is it just me or does TGFM sound like he's always out of breath when he's talking
I've noticed this as well. But it's like he's not sure which direction he's supposed too breath....in or out....but for some reason always does the wrong one? I'm sure very few people have noticed that. Glad I'm not the only one. And I don't mean to be petty....but that's why I'm not subbed too him and catch videos at random. I just can't deal that weird breathing thing. lmao. But hey, looks like he's doing perfectly fine without my sub and pet peeve.
To this day, I have never stopped wanting to have a pair of these glasses myself.
Lmfao 9 seconds ago. Ive never been this early!
Whats 9x0? 0 the exact amount of people who care
@@PlacidSine it's me I care.
@@PlacidSine damn, you really felt the need to shit on his parade
Lmfao 6 minutes ago. I’ve never been this early!
And for this grave mistake, you will now be hit with constant notifications from TH-cam that an asshole like myself replied to your comment
Wearables have improved since then but still run into durability issues and comfort issues. The bose speakers sunglasses seem cool but need some improvements. Augmented reality seems more suited to larger outdoor things(billboards,car windshields, glass doors) then tiny screens on your face.
When Apple announce one everyone will accept it.
I think they already announce the iglasses, altough i dont know if its fake or not, it seems legit.
Apple can´t develop smart glasses, if Google Glass was $1500, the iGoggles would be around $12000, not many people would buy them.
What if Google launches it as a face shield. No one will find it weird if u are wearing one in 2021. Remember transparent smartphone from samsung? Sooner or later smartphone will be outdated
I remember a guy in my college program talking up how he was going to get these. I don’t think that ever happened.
I actually don’t think that they look terrible but I wouldn’t spend $1,000 on them.
These are too underrated I wish society would see face technology as a form of fashion.And the possibility that these could have with a 2021 twist( real time Artificial intelligence assistant,remote computer screen paring,battery technology,real time text translator,wireless charger,and more). I would just add a on/off button for the camera and Mic.
I’ve been asking this question for years. Apple will eventually bring this idea back.
Great idea just too early and Google don't stick with projects if they don't catch on quickly
I like how it’s still being used today in some work fields, seems very useful
Clear displays aren't there yet. But when they are i promise this will come back
dude i could watch you for days
you can still get google glass today, as a regular person, multiple companies even make specialized frames, and prescription lenses for them to make them look more like normal glasses.
Google glass: "looks weird"
Airpods: "Hold my latte."
This stuff is being implemented into motorcycle helmets a lot. It's really useful like a headsup display in an older American Pontiac.
well the phones definitely listen to you. way too often i talk about something without eve searching for it, and suddenly an ad about it pops up. pretty creepy
I never knew it was out. Was it ever officially available publically? I always just heard it was in development
Was apart of the explorer program. I explored. Then sold them to a guy in the UK since they weren’t being invited yet. They were ok... but having to zip tie then to my prescription glasses sucked. I played with with it, got my money back. Wasn’t bad to just play with it and experience it first hand.
Literally thought about this yesterday, thanks
My friends and I were in high-school and such geeks for these at the time. We all wanted some so bad but in hindsight I'm kinda glad it didn't catch on.
I don't think I knew anyone who actually used Google glass , that most definitely conveys to me what little impact it had.
I've always wanted this to catch on
I remember seeing the ad for this thing in my English class in High School
Yesss it’s always a good day when you upload ☺️🥰
glasses that record are a privacy issue, some countries have actually banned them due to this fact, this is most likely the reason why this was abandoned. if this wasnt prohibited from actual sale, then you would be able to find them anywhere and buy them, which is not the case, you simply cant buy them.
Just buy a smart watch. Cheaper, and can do 10x more.
Links to your phone, also takes calls. Etc etc.
I smell Apple making AiR gLaSsEs!
