We at BI Intelligence have put together a comprehensive research report that forecasts the future market for Google Glass.

We expect that Google Glass will go mainstream within a few years, as the price drops and the design begins to resemble normal eyewear. While detractors carp about privacy and its current goofy appearance, we believe Glass will improve its user experience and draw in users with amazing apps that leverage augmented reality.

We provide high, mid and low-range sales estimates that could result based on a number of factors, including price. On the high side, we believe Google Glass will sell 21 million units annually by 2018.

In the report, we explain the model and methodology behind the forecasts in detail, and analyze each of the key strategic components that will have a significant impact on the market for Google Glass.

Our research report is accompanied by a slide deck, part of which is posted here. We hope you enjoy it.
