The design of the Glass has not changed so much it is still the old head up display type. The design is not comparable with Microsoft HoloLens headsets. Google uses Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 technology which is designed for augmented reality purposes.

Now that Google Glass has XR1 the processing is improved and as mentioned by Google that with the help of Snapdragon XR1 the new Google Glass Headset can integrate with advanced machine learning and computer vision capabilities.

Apart from this Google already launches a computer vision tool named Google Lens which can translate any language to your desired one, sign translations and recommendations based on your past experience.

By collaborating with Smith Optics, Google is adding new safety frames and also enhancing battery life with other improved mechanisms. The Glass Headset can now run on Android. Earlier there was no news of it coming into Android but later Google planned Glass Headset Edition 2 to come up with Android.

Previously, Google was hit with privacy concern because of the privacy and functionality of the Glass Headset but then Google shifted its focus from general public to some groups that include Surgeons, industrial units workers and other professionals.

Google is claiming that they sped up their production line, giving improved quality with a decrease in cost. The original Explorer Edition cost $1,500 and this Enterprise Edition 2 is at $999.

Not just Google is working on virtual reality; there are other renowned companies as well who are planning to bring their own augmented reality glasses including Microsoft, Epson and Vuzix.

Google collects our data through multiple devices like smartphones, laptops and also from its services such as YouTube or its search engine. The study shows that Google will still identify and link it with you.

Whenever you started using private mode or incognito mode you will read a message that “you are now browsing privately”, so now others will be unable to check your history or activity you have performed while using the private mode. The incognito mode does not save your history, cookies and any kind of information you have shared on while browsing incognito mode. But here is a little worry for you that Google does warn us by saying your activity is still visible to your Internet service provider, websites and to those who control the network.

Although the history data is not being saved, it may be linked to your Google account while using private mode. The study related to data collection disclosed that when you surf a third party website which are using Google advertising and publisher products and after that, you logged in to your personal accounts such as Gmail or YouTube, then it sets a cookie that is not firstly linked with your Google account but it stores in local mass storage. But again, when you login with your personal account in normal mode Google will connect these stored cookies with your personal information so hence you are in Google loop now.

So, what to do in order to save yourself from this. To remain protected just do not login to your Gmail account or any other account which is vulnerable for your privacy. But if you do want to enter your Gmail for emergency reasons you must delete your cookies before and after using the service so that Google won’t link information via cookies.

What we learn from this is that Google is also not so safe and secure when it comes to internet safety. But we cannot just blame Google for this as there are other companies as well who are compromising our online privacy.
