Google Glass is Back To Stay for Enterprises

The first thing that comes to people’s minds when the words Google Glass come to a sentence is a product that didn’t have a clear reason to exist and also didn’t really have any sort of practicality or privacy. However, Thanks to moonshot X, Google has re-released the Google Glass project as an Enterprise edition for that is not available to the public.

The “Death” of Google Glass

So what happened? The story says that the production ended in Early 2015. However, it seems like Moonshot just continued to spread the brand across various enterprises like DHL and AGCO. Obviously, the tale of Google Glass hasn’t ended by then. Considering the fact that DHL’s production was risen by 15% and has been a great tool for healthcare professionals. The goal was clear for the new Google Glass project.

As such, Moonshot started working in silence. Making a new model for the Google Glass and changing the name from Explorer to Enterprise, it showed the developments a few times at different places. But now, the project is ready to be unveiled for professional work, and only professional work.

The new design is made with rigorous work environments in mind. A bigger display prism and a much faster processor. It certainly seems like the Glass came ready to make a comeback, “We’ve … made improvements to the design and hardware so that it’s lightweight and comfortable for long term wear. We’ve increased the power and battery life too” said Jay Kothari from Moonshot X in a blog post.

A new focus for the future.

And the results show! With less back and forth to do paperwork and allowing people to be in the place they are supposed to be, companies are presenting a steady increase in production. In the words of Peggy Gulick, the Director of Business Process Improvement of ACGO says. “Employees are now working smarter, faster and safer because they have the information they need right in their line of sight.”

One of the things that makes me happy about this blog post is the fact that Google Glass as a project finally found the focus its creators were hoping for. The device shows that they learned from their mistakes and built something better for the area of professionals. And even though I really don’t think we would ever get a public version ever. It’s still good to see that the project didn’t truly die.

Want more classic Metal Gear Solid remakes on PS5? You’ll need to speak Konami’s language—dollar bills—to express your desire.

“Regarding remakes of previous games in the series other than Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, we will listen to player demand and consider accordingly,” a Konami official told IGN.

Konami explained that “we chose Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it depicts the birth of Big Boss (Naked Snake), which is the starting point of the Metal Gear series.” Fans wishing it would last forever contributed.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, yes? Maybe you’ll buy another disc to show Konami you’ll pay again?

Sony Accused of Abusing Industry Dominance

The Romanian Competition Council is investigating Sony for abusing its console gaming market dominance. How exactly? The RCC says Sony sells video games exclusively through the PlayStation Store and blocks competing distributors from accessing activation codes.

“These practices would have reduced the purchasing options for PlayStation-compatible video games, leading to higher prices for video games on this type of console,” the RCC’s press release (in Romanian) states on ResetEra. These practices discourage Romanian studios from making PlayStation-compatible games.

The RCC is serious, too, having inspected Sony’s European headquarters to find out what happened. The press release states that “1.3 million console video game users” and “127 video game development studios” would be affected by Sony’s anti-competitive practices.

We’re not lawyers, but we believe digital game codes can’t be bought from other retailers, preventing price competition. Sony allowed the practice until a few years ago, so it’s interesting that it’s back.

Sony Expects 108 Million PS5 Sales This Generation

After the COVID-19 supply collapse, Sony CEO Jim Ryan is optimistic about PS5 sales. The Sony executive anticipates the PS5, the best-selling console for months, will sell 108 million units.

That’s difficult stuff considering Sony needs to sell 70 million more PS5s. Since supply has increased, consoles are selling like hotcakes in major countries, suggesting the firm is above 40 million.

Ryan stated in a recent games business briefing webcast and Q&A (thanks, TweakTown):

“The 70 million, I think, is the existing PlayStation 4 user base, and while we would hope to convert a large number of those people, we will definitely target and definitely be successful in bringing large numbers of gamers who did not own a PlayStation 4, and in many instances, who have never owned a PlayStation at all.”

Mr. Ryan’s numbers—should we focus on the 108 part?
