Google Glass 2.0 is here, and this time, AI makes it worth wearing

It is 2012, and Google has come up with this weird yet interesting spectacle-like wearable product that looks kind of like a safety glass for factories. Many were confused about why I was so excited about it then. I clicked many pictures with it and proclaimed to anyone who would listen that this is the future of the wearables industry, and that Google is underrated for the visionary work they do. To top it the reveal was nothing short of spectacular. Google unveiled its Google Glass 1.0 with a couple of skydivers live streaming themselves while parachuting on the San Francisco skyline. But then, this turned out to be a classic case of the product being ready, but the market not as much. No one would have realized it was a case of premature execution then. Google quietly pivoted to making this available enterprise only. The enterprise edition in 2017 found only a few takers in the medical and the industrial field. And Google finally stopped selling and supporting the enterprise edition too in 2023.
