Talkin’ Glass with Steven Levy


Listen Later

Glass is back—not as a consumer product, but as an enterprise product. Backchannel editor and longtime WIRED contributor Steven Levy stops in to tell us how factory workers are taking advantage of Google’s “assisted reality” wearable to streamline their production and training. This marks Glass’s emergence from the cloud of controversy and confusion that defined its first three years of existence. Now that Glass is back as a new and improved tool for the workplace, it seems even Google isn’t sure what’s next.
Some notes: Steven’s Glass story for Backchannel, which is now part of WIRED. Check out the new Alphabet site for Glass Enterprise Edition. Jessi Hempel on Microsoft HoloLens. Recommendations this week: The Das Keyboard Prime 13, ReelGood, and the Weber iGrill for the Big Green Egg.
