Back at I\/O 2022 in May, teased the return of its augmented reality glasses by of its next-gen glasses. Now, the company is just about ready to start real-world testing. You might spot a Googler wearing the glasses in the wild as soon as August.<\/p>\n

“The real-world tests will allow us to better understand how these devices can help people in their everyday lives,” Juston Payne, a group product manager at Google’s AR and VR division, . “And as we develop experiences like AR navigation, it will help us take factors such as weather and busy intersections into account \u2014 which can be difficult, sometimes impossible, to fully recreate indoors.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The testing will be limited to a few dozen people (Google employees and trusted testers). The prototype models will be equipped with cameras, microphones and in-lens displays. Google is assessing audio and visual sensing for functions such as translation, transcription and navigation.<\/p>\n

However, the features will be limited. The glasses won’t capture photos or videos, though Google will use image data to translate text and display directions. Data “after the experience is completed” unless it’s going to be used for debugging and analysis. In that case, Google will remove sensitive information, such as faces and license plates. The company will delete image data used for research purposes after 30 days.<\/p>\n
