Google announces a new $999 Glass augmented reality headset
Google has announced a new version of its business-focused Glass augmented reality headset, which it's now designating an official Google product instead of an experiment. The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 costs $999, although, like its predecessor, it's not being sold directly to consumers. It's got a new processor, an improved camera, a USB-C port for faster charging, and a variety of other updates.
Google still isn't positioning Glass as a mainstream product. But it seems to be expecting greater sales of the Glass Enterprise Edition 2. The device has been moved out of the Google X "moonshot factory" and into the main Google family of products, letting Google "meet the demands of the growing market for wearables in the workplace," according to a blog post.

My somewhat more realistic concern is this isn't going to help bedside manner very much.
At least when a phone-addict plays with their phone, its obvious and they can be avoided.

If someone with AR smartglasses is staring at you intently, they probably have the nudity filter on. Check for signs of boner/arousal.
