GoogleWear

GoogleWear was a wearable computing platform developed by Google. It was announced in February 2013 and was designed to integrate with Android smartphones. The platform aimed to provide users with a range of features, including notifications, voice commands, and fitness tracking. GoogleWear devices were compatible with a variety of Android smartphones, allowing users to receive notifications and control their phones hands-free.

The first generation of GoogleWear devices, known as the Google Glass, was released in 2012. The Glass was a head-mounted display that allowed users to access information and perform tasks without using their hands. It featured a small screen that displayed notifications, maps, and other information. The Glass also had a camera that could take photos and record videos.

The second generation of GoogleWear devices, known as the Google Wear OS, was released in 2015. The Wear OS was designed to be more versatile than the Glass, with a range of devices that included smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices. The Wear OS allowed users to receive notifications, control their phones, and track their fitness.

GoogleWear was discontinued in 2020, with Google focusing on other wearable platforms such as the Fitbit and the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Despite its discontinuation, GoogleWear had a significant impact on the wearable technology industry, paving the way for the development of modern smartwatches and other wearable devices.
