Technology sector reacts as Google halts Glass sales

Technology influencers have been quick to react after last week’s news that Google had stopped sales of its Glass device through Explorer programme on January 19.

CMO and director of wearable technologies at Rochester Optical Tim Moore said: ‘For clarification, not headlines, Google is moving forward with full development of Google Glass. They will be refocusing and positioning Glass 2.0 for the public rollout, which will include a redesign and a more consumer friendly price.

‘To enforce Google's commitment, they have Tony Fadell directly overseeing Glass 2.0. He is best known for his integral role in the creation of Apple's iPod and iPhone, so my expectation is Google is preparing to open the floodgates. I'm more excited than ever about the platform.’
