As the world remains in
sort of shock over the news of sudden Google Glass demise, Google has confirmed
it is actually working on an upgraded Google Glass 2.
While announcing the
closure of its Google Glass Explorer programme and taking the original wearable
device off sale Monday, the company in a Google+ post revealed that “you will
start to see future versions of Glass when they are ready.”
“As we look to the road
ahead, we realise that we’ve outgrown the lab and so we’re officially
“graduating” from Google[x] to be our own team here at Google. We’re thrilled
to be moving even more from concept to reality,” the post read.
“As part of this
transition, we’re closing the Explorer Program so we can focus on what’s coming
next.”
“January 19 will be the
last day to get the Glass Explorer Edition. In the meantime, we’re continuing
to build for the future,” it further read.
According to The Wall
Street Journal, the next generation of the wearable gadget will arrive in 2015.
“It is not clear what
Intel chip Google will use in the new version of Glass, but there will be an
emphasis on power conservation,” the report said.
