Google Glass versus the COMPETITION

Google Glass wasn't actually the first smart glasses / smart eyewear device, but Google certainly popularized the concept by focusing on consumer uses combined with a creative marketing campaign. At this month's meetup, we're going to look at Google's competitors. We'll have a presentation and discussion that covers the following:

• What smart eyewear devices are available now?

• What devices are coming later this year?

• How do the features of these devices compare to Google Glass?

• What are the price points? (NOTE: They vary wildly!)

BONUS TOPICS (if time permits):

1. Smart contacts: A number of companies are working on contacts technology. This includes display / augmented reality, heat sensors, glucose monitoring and even cameras!

• How far away from shipping products are these devices?

• Will smart contacts replace smart glasses or are there use cases for both?

• How much will the early products cost?

2. VR goggles versus smart glasses:

• How are these devices the same?

• How are they different?

• Will both go away if smart contacts technology is realized?
