This was a pretty solid history write-up for Glass. I still remember when it debuted and I got a test pair to wear for a while as part of the pilot program.

I honestly think we're going to see Augmented Reality (AR) devices go through the same steps and backlash that Google Glass received until it finds the right place/industry to be used. Right now that's looking like education and design, but I could be wrong. Glass looks like it's going to own the medical field if the revival of the product is handled correctly.
