Arthur Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Glass Enterprise Edition has helped workers in a variety of industries—from logistics, to manufacturing, to field services—do their jobs more efficiently by providing hands-free access to the information and tools they need to complete their work. To learn more, visit https://google.com/glass www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3076112/google-glass-enterprise-edition-2-official The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 comes with a new processor, USB-C connectivity, a boosted camera and a proper design tweak that fits the small screen into a proper spectacles frame. It's not exactly a revolution in smart glasses design, but Google Glass project lead Jay Kothari noted that new bits, like the use of Qualcomm's Snapdragon X1 chip, will provide "significantly" more power and use its multi-core capabilities to power things like a new AI engine. "This enables significant power savings, enhanced performance and support for computer vision and advanced machine learning capabilities," Kothari explained. The smart glasses have also been made easier and faster to deploy, according to Kothari, as they are built upon Android and can play nice with Android-friendly APIs as well as Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management. And that's about it. What we're looking at her is merely an upgrade, not a massive step forward in augmented reality enabling specs; Microsoft's HoloLens 2 is arguably more impressive. But for businesses keen on making use of AR to say help training engineers in the field, the second-gen Google Glass glasses could be just what they are looking for.
bald_pig Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Current research suggests that AR makes you less accurate at precision work though, so maybe not for everyone! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48334457
TechMonkey Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I'd be interested in known the method for that test as from that article it is so vague it could be the difference between AR objects and paper and pencil. Generally you aren't interacting with AR objects when using these, it is to show or record information hands free. Considering keyhole surgery has been performed remotely I think it is just a matter of what someone is used to so it will develop over time.

The point is that the eye cannot focus on two distances at once, so following an AR marker is not as precise as working it out yourself.
