> Then again, consumers might not be the main focus for Glass anymore.

So, that's like saying it's dead for the consumer market, and isn't this the playing field we're talking about? It shouldn't be a surprise that a product like this would cater to a niche market, but that doesn't qualify it as "coming back".

I'm not sure Enterprise is niche. There are, of course, the "privacy concerns" against glass that make it not much of a consumer product - but it has shown to be fantastic for certain use cases.

So maybe it's not "coming back" but it's not "dead"

The "privacy concerns" the news focused on was mostly nonsense. It's pretty impossible to covertly record someone with Glass. Yet most people didn't realize the real privacy concerns... Google insisted on uploading Glass owners' photos to their servers without their permission.

I think uploading users' photos without their permission definitely counts as a privacy concern.

I'm still unconvinced by the form factor. Perhaps Google Fedora would be an easier sell?

Oh God, can you imagine the jokes? "Fedora guys" are an Internet joke already.

I actually loved the form factor, if it wasn't for the software, I'd still be wearing mine. As a prescription lens user to begin with, the majority of people I interacted with didn't seem to notice my Glass a lot of the time, and I forgot I was wearing it myself when I wasn't using it.

What use cases is it fantastic for?

It's been used a bit in the medical industry. Just do a google for it and a lot more articles come up.

It can be very useful as a personal protective equipment in some industrial sectors too. Augmented reality can save lives!
