You might be forgiven for thinking Google Glass was a mere blip on the landscape of recent history, which raises the questions: Where is Glass? [zdnet.com] And what is its status?

Google Glass first arrived on the scene about a year-and-a-half ago, but has since been left to publicly pasture. Despite the initial troubles with battery life, a lack of apps, and even arriving to testers and developers without a particular pain point to solve, it was nevertheless widely lauded as the first major mainstream break into wearable technology.

Jump to today, and every company and their friends (and rivals) are developing wearable devices of variable shape and size, but now, according to Reuters, more than half the Glass developers it surveyed have since abandoned their projects for a number of reasons; not to mention that Glass creator Babak Parviz left Google for rival Amazon.

Wherever Google Glass is, it's not dead -- yet -- even though it smells funnier than usual. However, its future remains unknown.
