Google Glass Resurgence on the Horizon?
Wearable glasses, once a failed venture with the Google Glass, are experiencing a resurgence and are expected to remain in multiple industries for the long term. After rethinking their strategy and appealing to a different market, these devices are making a comeback.
In the construction industry, wearable glasses are being used in various ways to increase awareness, ensure safety, and simplify jobs. Sites like Librestream are developing innovative wearable glasses and head-mounted tablets for construction, providing workers with real-time communication, access to health and safety information, and informational manuals.
The manufacturing industry is also embracing this technology. Wearable glasses can help identify the causes of injuries or accidents, preventing their recurrence. By reviewing live video streams from workers, productivity issues can be identified and rectified. Exact Online offers more information on how wearable glasses technology is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry.
Other industries using wearable glasses technology include logistics and professional sectors. AR smart glasses like Vuzix M300 are applied for hands-free data access, quality control, and remote assistance to enhance productivity and safety. The growing market of industrial smart glasses, representing 97% of the current use cases as of 2025, supports this trend.
Despite the initial failure of the Google Glass, other companies like Sony developed rival products. However, these too did not find success. The Google Glass, retailing at around £1000 each, was considered pretty ridiculous and quite distracting. Google eventually took their wearables off the market.
Now, wearable glasses are being brought back and sold to industries, offering practical applications and improved designs. The construction industry is a significant user of current wearable glasses, demonstrating the potential of this technology to boost output and enhance safety across various industries.
