Google's Glass eyewear, right after going on sale for all the US
customers
again, continues to stay under spotlight for the launch of new
travel-related Glassware (apps meant for the Glass eyewear), and also
for its rumoured successor - Google Glass 2.
The newly-launched
travel-related Glassware for Google Glass for now brings only a few
more applications, including Tripit, Foursquare, OpenTable, Field Trip,
Word Lens, Google Now, Search and Maps.
"Some of the most exciting
experiences that our Explorers have shared with us are from their
travels with Glass. Glass has become a favorite travel companion because
it helps you enjoy your vacation without getting lost in your
technology, and now we have new Glassware that will continue to help you
discover and explore with ease," states the
official Google Glass Google+ post.
The last major update Google
rolled out for its Glass
included SMS notifications support to iPhone, and a new and improved
Calendar Glassware. The Mountain View giant also said it will be
increasing the frequency of updates now that it has upgraded Glass
firmware to Android 4.4 KitKat.
While
Google Glass gets updated, we have
started to hear some rumours about the next-generation of Google Glass.
The
report by Laoyaoba.com
(via
G for Games) indicates Google is already working on the second
generation of Glass eyewear, and samples are currently under R&D
testing.
It has been further noted that Google has certified
Crystal Optech's Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) display technology for
the upcoming eyewear. The same technology by the same optoelectronic
component manufacturer is said to have been used on the existing Google
Glass. The search engine giant is said to have been certified the LCOS
display via a number of middlemen in order to avoid the media to find
out soon about the development.
Unfortunately, no other
information regarding specifications, price or its availability is known
for the next-generation of Google Glass, and we cannot say what Google
might finally put on the table for its Glass fans. However, we do not
expect the Google Glass 2 to arrive any time soon as the existing Google
Glass is not fully out yet and is said to be made available by the end
of this year.
