Google's Latest Smart Glasses Keeps In Mind Privacy Concerns

Google Nasdaq Alphabet Inc
  • Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) showcased a pair of standard-looking glasses at the Google I/O developer conference that displays translations of conversations in real-time with no hint of a camera, Reuters reports.
  • Google showed only a video of its prototype, which displayed translations for conversations.
  • "What we're working on is a technology that enables us to break down language barriers, taking years of research in Google Translate and bringing that to glasses," said Eddie Chung, a director of product management at Google, calling the capability "subtitles for the world."
  • A decade ago, the debut of Google Glass which filmed what wearers saw, faced privacy and design criticisms.
  • Google also teased a tablet for launch in 2023 and a smartwatch for sale in 2022 to compete with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL).
  • Price Action: GOOG shares traded lower by 1.55% at $2,244 in the premarket on the last check Thursday.
