“OK, Glass, make my workforce more productive.”
This voice command, while not quite yet an option for the Google Glass interface, could become a common goal among HR directors and benefit plan sponsors who plan to incorporate the digitized eyewear product into their own vision benefit plans or even use it as a high-tech, enhanced productivity tool in the workplace. And more than just good news to tech fans who are clamoring to use the hands-free system as soon as they can, leaders in the vision care space believe that the landmark decision by Google to partner with VSP Global and provide the digital eyewear at a subsidized price for employees may also bolster voluntary plan take-up and help to brand the new wave of wearable technology as a norm.
