From ComputerWorld: Google’s Glass Explorer program may be dead, but the ill-fated face computer—now under the care of Nest CEO Tony Fadell—is very much alive. An FCC filing published on Monday shows the next version of Google Glass in precise detail, giving the world a closer glimpse at a reboot that appears destined for workplace productivity scenarios.
As you can see from the FCC photos here, it appears one manifestation of the Google Glass redux lacks a nose bridge, and doesn’t wrap fully around the user’s face. Moreover, the assembly that holds the glass prism can fold down against the earpiece.
Just push the hinge down, and pop Glass into your pocket protector—or so the design would seem to suggest.
According to reports from Wall Street Journal and 9to5Google published earlier this year, the new wearable includes a larger prism display (presumably for a larger field of view), an improved Intel processor, longer battery life, and a more rugged, even waterproof design. All of these features position the wearable for the more rigorous demands of enterprise and industrial environments.
