Google is adding Glass Meet so that remote supervisors can see through the eyes of field workers


You may not have thought of Google Glass in a while, but the Enterprise Edition of its head-up display is getting a whole new trick: it could use Google Meet (formerly Hangout Meet) to let remote supervisors see. Helps to accomplish tasks with the eyes and live chat of their workers in the field.

The idea is to run after the very first HoloLens demos, where it has gone through the process of repairing the light switch via Skype video call.

Both Microsoft .ft and Google already have different enterprise customers for their headsets. An early notable win for Google was Boeing, which they used to help build the aircraft by augmenting the PDF assembly guides viewed on laptop screens.

Given the rise of rival teleconferencing platforms such as Zoom and Micro .ft teams, Google is putting a lot of pressure on Meet due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The company recently unveiled a video chat platform in Gmail, rolled out hardware bundles in its own meet conference room and added group calls to its nest’s smart display.
