Google Glass redesigned, may adopt a slimmer and sleeker model

The new version of Intel-powered Google Glass may look slimmer and sleeker than its earlier version. The exteriors of the new device also adds a textured area to the touch-sensitive side panel where non-voice interactions are performed, media reports said. Google Glass is expected to be unveiled next year. The Google patent describes a sleeker version of Google Glass that should still draw plenty of public attention. The entire thing appears more like a futuristic headset and less like a modified pair of glasses. Google Glass is presently available for $1,500, though it is speculated that the final retail version will sell for a lot less. Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format. Wearers communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands. Recent reports suggest that, people are **loosing interest in Google Glass** . When Google Glass was announced around two years ago, it attracted an almost manic following. It was the future to some. The present to others. It was a great idea but many also thought it was an invasion of privacy. Google, however, has  **delayed the project** to such an extent, that people have lost interest in the device. With inputs from IANS
