Here’s another travel-related bit of Glass news to pass along: Expedia, the online travel giant, is reportedly working on a Google Glass app.
That news comes from the World Travel Market Global Trends Report 2014, which was released last week. The report quotes Expedia’s CEO, who says the company’s app will be more about travel alerts than booking flights, hotels or car rentals:
The report quotes Expedia Inc’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who says “We build the technology so that those same notifications can easily go to a Google Glass or someone’s watch…You have to build your technology with very flexible architecture, so that notifications can be sent to basically any device.” Expedia already has an app for the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch and is working on one for Google Glass, with notifications rather than bookings the current focus.
Having flown to Hawaii and Ireland within the past month, this weary traveler would happily use an app that sends gate changes, flight on-time status and similar “as you go” alerts.
