The tech industry and press has proclaimed Google Glass “dead” many times, most recently when Google announced last month that it was closing the Explorer program.

“Google Glass is dead” makes for a catchy headline, perhaps, but the truth of what Google announced is obviously more nuanced than that. Google closed the Explorer program and said it would stop selling the original version of Glass, but it also said that Glass was moving out of the Google [X] experimental lab (“graduating” was Google’s word) and that work would continue on the next version of Glass.

Despite the naysayers, a majority of Glass Explorers believe that this recent change is a positive for Glass. On the day that Google announced the end of the Explorer program, we published a new poll with a simple question:

The Glass Explorer program is ending. Is this a positive or negative for Glass?

In the 3.5 weeks since, we collected 199 votes and 57 percent said the changes are a positive. Here’s the data in chart form:

As always, it’s not a scientific study. But it does reveal that, at least for those who voted, the truth is far from “Glass is dead.”

New Poll Question

We’ve posted a new poll question for current Explorers. We want to know how you’d respond if someone offered to buy your Glass for the same $1500 (USD) price that you paid originally to join the Explorer program? Do you want to get your money back that way, or do you consider Glass a collectible that’s priceless … or at least worth more than $1500? Let us know below and we’ll share the results in the next month or two.


If you were offered $1500 USD for your Google Glass, would you sell it?
