New version of Glass won't be released until it's "perfect."

by Ron Amadeo - Feb 5 2015
 
Google Glass as we know it seems to be dead. Comments made on Google's earnings revealed that at one point the Glass team had to "reset their strategy," but we weren't sure when this happened. A report from the The New York Times sheds more light on the situation, saying the reboot came with the public "graduation" that was announced a few weeks ago. The move put Glass under Nest CEO Tony Fadell's control, and according to the report, Fadell wants to "redesign the product from scratch."

 
The report quotes an adviser to Fadell as saying, “There will be no public experimentation. Tony is a product guy and he’s not going to release something until it’s perfect.” This matches up with the "graduation" announcement, which ended the Explorer beta test program and said new versions of Glass would be shown off "when they’re ready."
