The market for consumer compact cameras has has been all but
eradicated by the rise of the smartphone and its ever improving built-in
cameras. Google Glass and other wearable devices could, once produced and sold
in larger quantities, be the next innovation to have a significant impact on
the consumer imaging market. Unsurprisingly neither electronics nor camera
manufacturers would want to miss out on the huge potential of this new category
of devices. There have been rumors of a Samsung Galaxy Glass device coming for
a while and we've seen similar concepts from lesser known manufacturers, too.
