Advantages and Limitations of the Google Glass Enterprise Edition

The Google Glass Enterprise Edition: Improving Business Efficiency

The Google Glass Enterprise Edition is aimed at helping businesses improve employee efficiency. Its modern platform and artificial intelligence engine enable substantial power savings and enhanced performance. It also supports advanced machine learning and computer vision capabilities. In addition, it is compatible with a wide range of Apps. In this article, you will learn about the advantages and limitations of this smart wearable.

Issues with Google Glass

Despite the fact that very few Google Glass units are in the wild, there are already some concerns about privacy and security. After the release of Edward Snowden's documents, many people are worried about the potential for misuse of the technology. While it's unlikely to become a conduit for intelligence services, wearers' physical movements could be recorded and misused for commercial gain.

Another major concern with Google Glass is the risk of eye strain. People who wear the technology for long periods of time may experience headaches or suffer rectus muscle problems. This may affect safety during everyday activities, such as driving or using the restroom. Furthermore, a Harvard scientist has raised concerns about visual confusion caused by the technology. This is because the brain doesn't like to perceive two images in the same eye, a phenomenon known as binocular rivalry. This can lead to serious accidents.

Another issue with Google Glass is its lack of cellular antenna. While its Bluetooth and Wi-fi radio can be used to communicate with smartphones and tablets, it isn't able to communicate with cellular towers. This means that a user's communication is restricted.

Privacy Concerns

Many people are concerned about privacy concerns with Google Glass. Many have never used the device, and have no idea how it works. In addition, they have no idea how Google will use the information it collects from Glass. Worse yet, they have no idea how it will be used, or how much information it will share with third parties. These concerns are understandable, but they don't contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way.

For example, Google Glass isn't a server in a secure building, and it's possible to lose or misplace the device. It also relies on Bluetooth and Internet connections. This means that it can be intercepted and used by snoops or government agents. Some people are concerned that Google Glass will allow police to track their movements, and they may become the next snitch.

In addition, Glass wearers could take pictures of sensitive information without being detected. By contrast, smartphone users are more likely to be suspected. By pointing their phones to a specific object, a person can't be sure whether they're being observed.

Battery Life

Battery life is one of the most pressing problems when it comes to wearable technology. If you're like most people, you're aware of how battery-powered mobile devices can be, and you're worried that the new Google Glass headsets won't last for more than a couple of hours. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can extend their battery life.

For starters, you can always try a Pebble, which offers battery life of up to five days before it needs to be recharged. The battery isn't very long, but it does have the advantage of using a low-power E-Ink display. And since Apple is also rumored to be working on an iWatch version, you won't have to worry about its battery life.

Battery life for Google Glass is comparable to that of a smartphone from 2012. However, using video features is especially draining on the device's battery. While Google previously claimed that Glass would have a battery life comparable to a typical smartphone, the fact that you can only record about thirty minutes of video before the device shuts down can make for a short movie night. However, if you don't need your video to be broadcast live on the Internet, you can simply fold up the device and put it in standby mode.

Apps available for Google Glass

There are a number of different apps available for Google Glass. The official Google Glass app is made by Google, but many of the apps available are unofficial. The developers of these apps are not affiliated with the company, and most do not contain advertisements. Most of these unofficial apps can be installed directly onto the Glass via the Mirror API, though some require a bit more technical know-how. One such app is BEAM, which allows you to post videos directly to YouTube and auto-share them to Twitter. Another app available for Glass is the New York Times, which lets you listen to articles and receive breaking news alerts.

For the Android Studio developer, the process of creating Glass applications is similar to that of creating apps for any other Android platform. First, you need to enable the debugging feature on the device. The device will make a sound when the debugging option is enabled. Then, click on the "Run" button on the toolbar (the right arrow next to the bug icon). This will build and run the app on the device.
