Google reveals a new form of augmented reality glasses. This will not be limited like the experiment phase product Google Glass and will be an official product of Google. Google will charge you $999 for its augmented reality Glass. Google Glass has an improved version of the processor, better camera, USB-C port for fast charging and lots of other important updates.

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.

The Bose Frames come in two styles one is Alto and the other is Rondo. An alto frame has a thin look with a bigger fit, and on the other side, Rondo has rounded lenses with a reduced fit. These Bose sunglasses were advertised as audio augmented reality and they can play music for you and allow you to make phone calls.

The frames are made from nylon, due to the large arm support it does not fell easily. Despite the fact that it has large arms to remain on ears it is still light in weight.

The sound coming out of the sunglasses is also very elegant. These glasses are very handy to those who work in the construction industry where they have to work on a sunny day and in a boring environment. Just replace Bose sunglasses with your ordinary glasses and enjoy the music coming right into your ears and also you can listen to what people are talking.

There are advantages and disadvantages as well like everything. These types of devices don’t have enough power to remain active for a long time and same is the case with these Bose sunglasses. The battery life is not as impressive as the technology is. The average battery life of Bose sunglasses is 3.5 hours of playback and 12 hours on standby position.

You can download the Bose connect app which gives you control to operate and you can learn more stuff related to Bose Sunglasses.

If you try to volume up to its fullest then you might feel the distortion coming from the glasses that means they are not meant to be on max volume. Due to its shrink speakers when the voice is at a balance position you will hear a perfect voice coming out of these sunglasses.

You might be thinking how it turned on, it’s easy, and on the right side of the glass, you will see on and off button. These on and off button is also usable when you receive a call or you want to talk to Google or Siri to give a command.

The Bose Frames Sunglasses were promised with augmented reality but it is not coming with AR at the moment. Moreover, you can get your hands on these glasses pair for just $200.

Here are some pros and cons of Bose Sunglasses:

Pros
  • Sunglasses as well as a Music player
  • Good sound quality
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to use and connect with mobile
  • Affordable price
Cons
  • The battery life is short
  • Incoming call volume is low

All in all, it’s a good addition to technology and we are waiting for the Bose Sunglasses to come in Augmented Reality and see the real magic.
