Google’s New AR Glasses: A Step into the Future or Just Another Fad?
Google Glass debuted in 2013 amid much fanfare and excitement. However, the stylish, tech-savvy eyewear quickly became notorious for making its wearers look like awkward cyborgs and prompted discomfort among those around them. Despite the initial buzz, the product flopped and became a cultural meme, a cautionary tale in the tech world. Fast forward to TED 2025, and Google is back with a new prototype AR smart glasses, this time aiming to do it right. The new iteration, while not officially dubbed Google Glass 2.0, shows promise in its design and functionality, sparking curiosity about its potential for success.
