Google Glass successor may come without glass

Who would have thought that the next generation of Google Glass may just as well ditch the glass altogether, but that’s exactly what the team behind the wearable technology has opted to do. According to The Information, Google’s Project Aura is working on three prototypes of Google Glass, out of which at least one doesn’t feature the glass screen.

The report further adds that these three versions may eventually be consolidated into two. The first version that will be targeted at enterprises will feature a screen, while two others will come without the glass and rely solely on audio output. Just like the original Google Glass, the new versions will also use bone conduction, which sends sounds to inner ear through cranial bone.

Earlier, Google Glass was part of the Google X “moonshots” lab, but in June, it came under Project Aura, which is the search giant’s new outfit for wearable tech. In the recent months, the company has hired a number of engineers to be part of the Glass devision. Hopefully, the new versions of Google Glass will manage to attract more attention than the last time.
