Product: Glass Enterprise Edition 2
Top Line: Google announced Monday that it is introducing Glass Enterprise Edition 2, an updated version of its Glass Enterprise Edition.
Close Up: Glass Enterprise Edition is small, lightweight wearable computer with a transparent display for hands-free work. Workers can use it to access checklists, view instructions or send inspection photos or videos, and our enterprise customers have reported faster production times, improved quality, and reduced costs after using Glass.
Glass Enterprise Edition 2 helps businesses further improve the efficiency of their employees. It features safety frames by Smith Optics that are designed for different types of demanding work environments, like manufacturing floors and maintenance facilities. Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 platform, which features a significantly more powerful multicore CPU (central processing unit) and a new artificial intelligence engine. This enables significant power savings, enhanced performance and support for computer vision and advanced machine learning capabilities, according to Google.
Vital Stats: Glass Enterprise Edition 2 features improved camera performance and quality, which builds on Glass’s existing first person video streaming and collaboration features. Google added a USB-C port that supports faster charging, and increased overall battery life to enable customers to use Glass longer between charges.
Google said Glass Enterprise Edition 2 is easier to develop for and deploy. It’s built on Android, making it easier for customers to integrate the services and APIs (application programming interfaces) they already use. In order to support scaled deployments, Glass Enterprise Edition 2 now supports Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management.
