Google Glass was released in 2013, but was already under scrutiny the moment it came out. With constant updates and a buggy system, the glory of Google Glass was short lived, and was overdone by the uprising of smartwatches. Google plans to re-release this piece of technology, but direct it towards businesses instead of consumers. There is no denying though, Google Glass is a revolutionary piece of technology and can change many ways in which we communicate and operate our business.
Google Glass is a headset designed as an eye frame or even a pair of glasses. It’s a computer system that operates like any mobile smart phone, allowing you the convenience of hands free use. The way the technology works is by projecting applications for you to operate before your eyes. Using voice command, you can open apps, send text messages, browse the internet, and take photos. Whatever the mobile phone is capable of, Google Glass is meant to do. It’s also built with a touch pad to navigate when not using voice command. Google Glass is capable of a lot and is a huge step forward in business technology.
It will alter careers around us at an extraordinary pace. Google Glass simply being what it is, a hands free smart device, is useful in almost any situation. It brings smart phone use to an easier and more applicable way to operate. The convenience itself is a dramatic change. With Google Glass you can operate your business from anywhere. The ability to open files, browse the internet, and make phone calls, all while going about your day hands free is almost too good to be true. This is very useful for journalists. A fast paced profession that requires constant documenting and research. You can simply approach a scene recording or taking photos with your Glass, documenting all the information very simply. Also facial recognition features allow for better customer service. While wearing Google Glass when communicating with a customer can seem a bit impersonal. Google Glass can identify who the customer is, allowing you to greet the customer by name. Creating a more personal bond between your business and your customers.
It’s a computer wherever you stand. Any files can be opened from anywhere using cloud. Useful for doctors who need to view patient files immediately. Conference calls are also approached with this device. A video conference no longer has to be you stuck in a room for a meeting. Through Google Glass others can see what you see in a call. Allowing you to take the call mobile, showing them around the office or another location to be presented. Google Glass has even been tested for the military, aiding US troops in war. Used to measure distances and the layout of a desired area.
Google Glass is a very advanced and useful piece of technology that may greatly benefit your business. The original Google Glass came with a steep price, but that was only an adoptable testing version for a business or company to use. Hopefully with the new release of Google Glass, the price will be more tolerable for businesses to obtain and try in their area of work.
