Business value of Google Glass

Outside the direct applications of connected sensors, company-issued Google Glass or smart watches are likely several years off. However, there are areas in which your enterprise can prepare immediately for wearable computing. Perhaps the biggest challenge is the volume of data these devices will produce. IT has a tradition of collecting data first and determining their use second, resulting in unwieldy data hoards that produce little value. Additionally, each of these devices represents a potential node on your network that may require monitoring and management. While wearable computers are only now leaving the domain of science fiction, and it will likely be several years before the majority of your staff are sporting something like Google Glass, this is a technology worth watching.

this certainly is going to make itself felt in business I think, imagine a secretary just sitting in a meeting with her Google glass recording the meeting and decisions made, minutes of meeting could change to a video clip with only the decision points being retained, the secretary role would be a video editor, also the back-end systems would have to have the storage and retrieval mechanisms to handle video being more mainstream - it is certainly going to be interesting. Imagine combining this technology with bug camera technology you would end up with an ability to record / view the immediate environment as if you where physically there in place of the person wearing the device , the bug eye camera would give a panoramic view.
