redlepper ... Well, I would have to say ...

it's not looking too good for Pimovi's CamFusion, and it appears to be the same can be said for Google Glass, as well ...

At Google, Bid to Put Its Glasses to Work

By CLAIRE CAIN MILLERAPRIL 7, 2014

[Excerpt]

Glass has shown up in professional athletics, too.

Basketball players for the Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers have worn Glass with software from CrowdOptic to broadcast video streams to fans from their points of view, as well as during practice. It gives coaches a different view and a better understanding of court spacing and ball rotation, said Chris Granger, the Kings’ chief operating officer.

Google’s new program for business users will eventually address some workplace issues, said Kelly Liang, director of business development for Google Glass, as well as improve Glass for consumers.

Though many technologies, like smartphones, started in the workplace and later earned widespread adoption, companies like Google go after the consumer market because of its potential to create runaway hits. For Google, though, persuading consumers to put on Glass is going to be the hard part.

Even some of the people who swear by Glass at work say they do not wear it outside the office. “It’s pretty geeky, you know?” Dr. Theodore said.

I suspect that could be the reason we haven't heard anything more about CamFusion. Let's hope Pimovi's Plan B of working on "other" initiatives will ultimately pay off ... guess we have no choice, but to wait and see.
