Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 https://www.google.com/glass/start/ is Google’s third generation of high-tech glasses.
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2: technical features
The processor controlling the third generation Google Glass is Snapdragon XR1 (with a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Quad Core), a perfect on-chip system for these types of accessories that require calibrated power in a small device that needs to be almost permanently connected, needs to optimize battery life and must not heat up too much because it is worn in contact with the body. And that applies even more when contact with the head is involved.
The technical features include all the necessary components for capturing and playing audio, so there is a microphone (in a different position than on the previous generation, for better output) and a loudspeaker. There is also low-energy Bluetooth 5.0, 3 GB of internal memory, an 820mAh battery and an 8 megapixel camera. Which is pretty good considering that the whole thing weighs in at just 46 grams.
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2: software and features
The main change on the software front, of course, is the use of Android to manage a device that was perfect in every respect for the most popular mobile platform. Google has now made it possible for companies to take advantage of the Android Enterprise Device Management program to manage the gadget as if it was a full-blown smartphone.
This means that the development basis for an application will be the same, and then just a few small changes will have to be applied to make the software suitable for smart glasses. This decision will definitely encourage developers to produce more dedicated content, as more than half of the programming work will be shared with smartphone apps.
Artificial Intelligence, one of the trends that took off last year and remains on an upward trajectory this year, also plays an essential role here, to create a more fluid, customized and optimized experience. The improvements compared with the previous version include lower power consumption, higher-quality audio and video streaming, and a universal USB type-C connection for faster charging.
Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2: design
The design is uncluttered and minimalist with a discreet frame that serves the functionality and effectiveness of the device. The main components are located on the part that covers the right eye, with everything built into a slim, exceptionally lightweight bar. The microphone has been moved further back, for better-quality voice capture (especially in crowded environments).
Various accessories will be available, such as professional lenses designed to provide suitable protection for professional users in the field, thanks to a partnership with Smith Optics. There will be plenty of scope for customization, however, according to customer requirements.
