Google Glass 2.0 is real, could be foldable

FCC filings have revealed the new version of Glass doesn’t look very different from the original headset it is based upon.

Google Glass may have caused a stir, but it never did really catch on – but Google isn’t giving up on the wearable just yet.

Rumors that Google was developing a new edition of its gadget began circulating in the media in July, despite no confirmation of the existence of the project by the company.

Curiously, while these images are finally live on the FCC website, Google has yet to formally announce the Enterprise Edition of Glass in any capacity.

New version of Glass supports 5GHZ Wi-Fi now, which is an upgrade from the previous iteration and uses an Intel Atom processor with some other upgrades to the internals.

The Enterprise Edition boasts a new folding design to stow away and carry easily. The manual also describes the camera light on the front of the device, which will turn green when the camera is on.

Gizmodo report said, We knew this was coming. We’re guessing, but we presume that Google is going to be using some kind of magnet-driven design to better stick one’s charging cable to Glass-much easier than the older Glass and its simple micro USB connection.

In developing Google Glass, the company saw many challenges. Don’t hold your breath for general availability, though, as earlier reports indicated that Google will be selling these devices exclusively to businesses for now through its Glass at Work program. It means that Google is not yet ready to sell its device directly to the consumers. The device is also equipped with improved processing power, battery life and wireless connectivity according to 9to5Google.

Finally, the device is planned to be only distributed through the Glass for Work startups.

Strangely, while the new Google Glass is all-but confirmed by this FCC filing, and despite the fact these devices have been tested by hundreds of people, Google hasn’t yet made any official pronouncement on the project.
