According to new research from our WDE (Wearables) team, Google's departure from thesmartglasses arena it pioneered in 2013 will be temporary. Google (and others) will come back stronger in 2016. The global smartglass market will continue be dominated by one display size, which will account for over 80% of global smartglass sales at the end of the forecast period in 2020.

Our published report -- available to clients here -- forecasts the global smartglass market by 11 display sizes, and by left-eye and right-eye display location, across the 2013 to 2020 period.
