Mysterious Device Could be New Google Glass for Enterprise
A post on DroidLife, a blog that follows and publishes about the Android developer community, noted that Google has received FCC permission for a device that many observers believe is the next generation of Google Glass. Codenamed GG1, the device supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi in 2.4GHz and 5GHz. It also has Bluetooth LE and rechargeable, non-removable batteries but the filing does not specify if the device will provide hands-free personal display support.
The mysterious FCC Filing drove speculation and media attention from the likes of PC Magazine, Mashable, the Verge and others. In an article on Forbes Magazine web site, contributor Theo Priestley speculates that the device could be a model of Google Glass designed for use in enterprise. He explains possible implications for workflow scenarios and businesses in customer service industries, including a remote expert function with Augmented Reality support. He points out that there will be much competition in this segment.
