The internet-connected eyewear, Google Glass, which had been promoted as the most advanced innovation in wearable technology, has so far been a mystery for most of the people. The users acknowledged the glass with much keenness, but many remained astonished about what went wrong with its functionalities and styling. The unconventional appearance of the glass did not allow it to match with the surroundings so that it could be treated as an accessory to be used daily. According to the Forrester Research, there was a privacy concern with the glass among almost half of all consumers.
The users got used to it only after a long time. But without taking any risk, the Google Inc. has it pulled off the shelves, though it has not completely put off the project. Instead, it will redesign this innovative and smart eyewear from the scratch. Also, unless and until the wearable gadget gets a full makeover, the company will not launch any pre-production models. Forrester analyst, J. P. Gownder said, “Google needs to construct a consumer image for the product, and deal with privacy concerns if they want it to be mass market.”
