If Google Glass blossoms into the everyday wearable of Google’s wildest dreams, we’ll have every incentive to keep the smart visor glued to our faces all the live long day. Glass is handy for travel, commuting and generally being out and about, and it could also mean big things for that nebulous future we’ve collectively dubbed “the connected home.”
This realm roughly extends from just beyond the threshold of our smart-locked front doors through our automated thermostat-rigged walls on into the kitchen—a potential smart gizmo playground—to that epicenter of home life turned tech marketing cliche, the living room.
Few would argue that such smart homes aren't one of the next big things. Homes in the U.S. already boast over half a billion internet-connected devices. Many of these are designed to work with smartphones and tablets, which may be approaching a saturation point, but a whole new class of gadget is about to barge in the front door.
And Glass? Well, Glass is with us all of the time, in this hypothetical future scenario at least.
