The search engine pulled the product even if it had some success, with the promise that it would bring it back when it worked out a way that that did not involve you sitting in a corner looking like an idiot talking to yourself.

Now it seems that Nest founder Tony Fadell may be taking over Google Glass design. Apple’s favourite unpaid PR company The New York Times reports that Google is starting from scratch, and won't reveal the redesigned product until it's completely finished.

This time there will be no public experimentation and it would not be released until it is perfect.
That does not mean the lessons learned through Google's Explorer Program will be thrown out the window.

Fadell says all that data will be considered throughout the process as the company attempts to retool the device. “Early Glass efforts have broken ground and allowed us to learn what's important to consumers and enterprises alike,” he said.

Fadell's record of accomplishment includes the iPod so he has a history of repackaging useless gadgets in a way that will make people like them.
