Samsung working on its own version of Google Glass

Although many in the know have stepped out and suggested that Google Glass will not make a widespread impression on the consumer market, it’s fair to say that the consensus pertaining the wearable tech is one of excitement. Ever since the project was first revealed last year, we’ve seen some exciting snippets of what Glass could eventually be capable of, and with many developers and creative individuals currently working on apps, Glass’ launch early next year will be, one suspects, a significant date in the calendar.

The “Gear Glass” news is courtesy of industry insider Eldar Murtazin, who recently took to Twitter to reveal that the product may launch – or at least become a public project – sometime in April or May of next year. We don’t know how much it will cost or what it will look like, but it’s probably safe to assume it will work with Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones and Android, similar to how the Galaxy Gear functions.

We imagine there’s going to be some sort of suit from Google if Samsung really uses “Glass” in the product’s name, there’s no doubt that could create some confusion among consumers, but Samsung doesn’t seem very afraid of lawsuits with major competitors. We’ll see in the coming months.
