Google Glass Half Empty ft. Quinn Myers
Added 2022-11-01 09:52:46 +0000 UTCthis week we’re joined by Quinn Myers, formerly of MEL magazine and author of “Google Glass”, volume 3 of the “Remember the Internet” series from Instar Books, to discuss the rise and fall of Google Glass. Glass was going to be the next big thing in wearable tech in the 2010s, but was plagued with development and technology issues, and was dead on arrival.
