When Google Glass was first announced, we all got excited about the idea. Well, perhaps that is too much of a sweeping statement. After all, there are a lot of people who are not that pleased with the idea. We’ve even heard about patrons being banned because of Google Glass and while there are individuals who have had the chance to play with this particular piece of wearable tech, the general public still has no access to Google Glass. Eight months since the gadget was made available to some people, we’re already looking at whether or not Google Glass will get a break this year.
Why Google Glass Will Not Succeed
- Expectations are too high.
- These are too hard to buy and acquire. They need to be custom fitted and, because they have a new user interface, users need a bit of training on how to use them.
- Not enough apps.
- The current UI can’t handle lots of apps.
- Battery life.
- Photo workflow sucks.
- Facebook is our main addiction and I can’t do it in Glass.
- No contextual filtering.
- Developers are being held back because there isn’t any distribution system for apps or Glass experiences.
- The Gruber problem. He just doesn’t like the idea of Glass, even if Apple were to bring out one
