The Google Glass for the business market seems ready to be put into use. According to Emerce, photos from testing body FCC would show that the glasses are ready to enter the market.
No success with consumers
Earlier, Google's smart glasses seemed to have just disappeared from the market for a while. Especially among consumers, the Google Glass did not gain a foothold. Consumers had doubts about privacy and about the face when wearing the Google Glass.
For the business market, however, the glasses could offer a lot of advantages. For instance, other brands' smart glasses are already being used in many a warehouse. Nest, subsidiary of Google, therefore decided to further develop the glasses in a business format anyway. The new version of the smart glasses therefore bears the name Google Glass Enterprise. This variant looks more like normal glasses and is foldable. The new Google Glass is waterproof and supports 5GHz Wi-Fi networks. A light shows that the camera is in use, something that was not the case before.

Efficiency in the warehouse
The wait is on for logistics companies to start using the Google Glass. In the warehouse, smart glasses can contribute to more efficient operations, especially as workers keep their hands free during order picking.Last month, after a trial of the glasses,Volkswagen decided that it was going to deploy the smart glasses everywhere. The glasses are not yet mandatory. Workers can decide for themselves whether they want to use the glasses. Now some 30 logistics workers at Volkswagen are using the smart glass while working.
