Google Glass 2 Release Date, Features and Specs: Device Gets an Upgrade; Will Fit Prescription Glasses
Google announced on Monday that the company is ready to engage in phase two of the Google Glass beta program. It is a wearable computer with a head-mounted display offered by Google under the company's Project Glass research and development. The company seeks to produce a mass-market computer that gives users access to information through a smartphone-like hands-free device. Users can also communicate with the internet just by using their natural voice when wearing Google Glass. It is truly a piece of breakthrough innovation. Still, thousands of people have already been testing out the first generation Google Glass earlier this year. The software is also being updated monthly.
According to Phone Arena, Google is now ready to take this project up a notch. Google announced that it is now prepared to upgrade the hardware as well as offer a one-time swap of the first Google Glass for this second generation Google Glass in November.
The new hardware can work with future lines of sunglasses as well as prescription frames. The new hardware also offers a mono earbud. The battery size and camera sensor may also be improved. However, what is really making the fans jump up and down is the fact that Google Glass may now work well with prescription glasses.
This is a huge improvement. One of the main contentions with the first generation of Google Glass is that those with eyeglasses cannot test the device or wear it. They either have to change to contacts or they will not have the opportunity to use Google Glasses. With the second generation Google glass, people with prescription glasses will have the opportunity to experience this already. Those who have the Google Glass first generation can also swap it for a new one by just signing up and completing the swap once the program runs.
