glasshole[edit]

This article is missing a description of the term "glasshole" and the role it played in the scaling back of the google glass project.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.107.192 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 16 April 2016‎ (UTC)[reply]

The description is still missing, even though "Glasshole" redirects to this page. I think some information about the term should be added to this page in order to make the redirect less confusing. 193.210.227.53 (talk) 15:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discontinuation[edit]

The article references it being "discontinued" on January 2015 without a citation in the sidebar but mentions it being redesigned on February 2015 in the development section. 2601:801:1:83AA:8C6E:6F71:D4FB:CD59 (talk) 05:56, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think that this article should contribute more relevant information about how google glass is impacting individuals. Specifically, there is some research done on how this product is benefiting children with disabilities.

I hadn't been aware of Google Glass for several years. Then after reading a few blurbs about it and the lead paragraph I started to wonder: Has it been permanently discontinued? Due to this, I think it should be explicitly stated if it is now in production if this is the case.

Also the lead section is too short. I'm trying to figure out what is up with Google Glass, what it is and so forth, —but forget that, it jumps into how it was developed, as if this piece was written by Google itself, they are so proud of themselves! Like we really care more about the manufacturing details and how spiffy Googly is. --Doug Bashford — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:7905:ACD3:6046:66FF:FE6B:3915 (talk) 21:23, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Google Glass is not discontinued. As detailed in the lead section, only the consumer-focused model of the product has halted production, the enterprise model is still alive and well. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:08, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your Artsy Photo?[edit]

The green lead photo of the upside down glasses looks like an advertisement and does not give a good photo of what the machine actually looks like or does.

Like any good advertisement it conveys a powerful mood and feeling more than information. As a photographer I give it an A+ for professional quality, as a technician I give it a D. The question is: What is the purpose of Wikipedia articles? --Doug Bashford 2607:FB91:7905:ACD3:6046:66FF:FE6B:3915 (talk) 21:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update status with new news[edit]

Someone needs to add an update to this article now that Glass has been discontinued: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/google-glass-is-about-to-be-discontinued-again/ BhamBoi (talk) 02:14, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
