Google Glass 2.0 detailed by FCC, confirmed by Italian Luxottica

Google Glass is back in the game, this time officially confirmed by more than one entity (or authority) in the tech world. According to the FCC, Google Glass is real and already has a guide on how to access FCC information for the gadget itself. On the other hand, Italian eyewear company Luxottica has also confirmed that they are also working on the new Google Glass, referred to more recently as Google Glass 2.0, Google Glass 2 or Google Glass second generation.
The FCC filings that have convinced us that they are for Google Glass version 2 can’t be taken for granted, so do serve a pinch of salt with these rumors, but it’s hard to imagine what else these guidelines on the FCC page point to. According to the filings, people should swipe right and then up in order to access FCC information on their Bluetooth Low Energy device. The diagram that the FCC attached to the description looks exactly like the rectangular view of Google Glass cards, which leads us to believe that this filing is indeed for the second generation augmented reality glasses.
Although we could theorize that the filings are for a smart watch or fitness band, it seems unlikely that Google would be working on such a thing as it already has Android Wear and a ton of fitness trackers to compete against if they do. Google Glass seems like the only probability if we go by the FCC filings, and since confirmation has been sent out by Luxottica, there’s not much doubt left among tech enthusiasts looking forward to the new Google Glass.
Luxottica CEO Massimo Vian said that their partnership with Google will no doubt result in a new edition of Google Glass sometime very soon. Besides Vian confirming the existence of Google Glass, the Mountain View giant itself has also hinted at the new device being cheaper and more consumer oriented, with a niche version also available for industrial workplaces. That’s good news, as the main problem with the first Google Glass, the Explorer edition, was that it didn’t carry too much functionality for the average user. We are definitely curious what the luxury eyewear firm will add to the design of the Google Glass and most likely, will avoid another Glassholes scandal.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Version Will Help PS5

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

No worries, PS5 Slim SSD upgrades are possible

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.
But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.
Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
