Google co-founder Sergey Brin always had his Google Glass come what may. But what could have happened that made Brin to leave his precious smart eyewear in the car on Sunday? Could it be Brin has joined those group of people who say the device may die soon or is Google Glass actually dying? Too many questions begging for answers. A new report by news site Reuters suggests Google Glass may die soon.
Since Google Glass came into the scene back in 2012, critics have argued that the search giant smart eyewear won't caught consumers attention and that the company might even abandon the project anytime soon. But Google has always insisted that Glass will receive a well welcome once it official launch to the public. But as the launch date draws nearer, it seems Google Glass might not even see the light of day,well from what the Reuters' report revealed. Fueling such speculations is Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who stepped out in a silicon Valley red-carpet event on Sunday without his Google Glass on. But why? Brin himself told a reported that he simply left it in the car. Can u imagine that coming from a guy who spearheads Google X Lab, the division that develops the device.
But, according to Reuters, Brin is not the only culprit in this matter . Glass Developers, Glass explorers and even some of the company's employees that saw the device come to a reality, like Barbak Parvis, Ossama Alami and Adrian Wong, have all lose interest in Google Glass and are reportedly working on other projects(most related to virtual reality).
I don't buy this report that Google Glass is dying at all. If you say people are no longer interested in the gadget, how come it always sells out every time it goes on sale?
