Google Glass will not achieve the success it promisesand it will replace our smartphones even less. I’m not saying this, said Keith Rabois, one of the leaders of Khosla Ventures, a venture capital firm that helps entrepreneurs succeed in the world of new technologies, among other things.
This enlightened analyst spoke about Google Glassos and the future that was promised to them during an interview with Bloomberg TV. That’s why Google glasses don’t have a “chance” to be as popular as our smartphones. They need to fit in a different segment, which they will place as accessories, in the same way as SmartWatches, such as the Galaxy Gear. It must be said that Google Glass has as many people who support them as there are cons.
Will Google Glass be on everyone’s nose soon?
Keith Rabois bases his arguments on the fact that the accessory will violate people’s privacy and you cannot force anyone to wear glasses. A valid argument, but Google glasses should ultimately be presented as a fashion accessory. Indeed, personalization to your taste and appearance, such as sunglasses or eyeglasses, will certainly be offered by opticians when marketed.
The current price for developers is $1500, but we mentioned it. Price around $299 to market to the public. Google clearly doesn’t see it the same way and believes in the tremendous success of its glasses, but the latter is already banned while driving and in certain establishments. As for the release date, now a Made available for Google Glass in 2014. Do you think this technology can replace our smartphones in a few years?
