Why Google Glass Inevitably Fails

According to foreign media reports, a technology expert and early wearer of Google Glass, Robert Scoble, wrote an article entitled "Why Do Google Glasses Fail?" The review article of the article is summarized as follows:

There are mainly the following points when wearing Google Glasses:

1. Wearing Google Glass does not appeal to people, and it even invites buzz.

2. As one of the early wearers, what we are worried about is still a prototype. It does not have a good API and is not very practical. It is expected that when Google introduces its final product in 2014, it will elaborate on various aspects such as battery life and design.

3, the price is definitely a big problem. I heard that the price of Google Glasses in 2014 will not be less than $500, which is doomed to fail. If this glasses can be reduced to less than $ 300, and there are one or two revisions, then Google Glass may usher in glory, but this situation may have to wait until 2016.

The above is how Robert Scoble tried Google Glasses in 2013. According to this, he now thinks that Google Glass will not be popular in 2014 and is destined to fail. The reason is as follows:

1. People's expectations for Google Glass are too high; it is merely a tool that is worn on the face and is the most controversial product.

2, Google glasses is difficult to buy and obtain; it needs to be customized, different people are suitable for different sizes, the user may also need to be properly trained to use Google glasses.

3, lack of application;

4, the current UI can not cope with too many applications;

5, the battery life; if you wear it to shoot video, battery life is only a poor 45 minutes, and the device temperature will increase.

6, bad image processing; Google Glass shot pictures can not be immediately uploaded to the phone.

7, does not support social network access;

8, no text filter; when people are in a special environment, such as meetings, it can not identify the meeting environment and only push the relevant information.

9, the lack of a simple and easy way for developers to test their applications on Google Glass.
