Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently attended a red-carpet event and wasn't wearing his signature Google Glass. That omission prompted news Google's already given-up on this controversial device, Reuters reports.

Why? That's because Brin and his Google Glass have been inseparable since the device was launched two years ago. At this recent event, however, Brin left his "spy-movie worthy" device in his car. This omission was perceived as a sign the Googler had given-up on Google's first "moonshot" gadget.

As the head of Google's top secret lab called Glass, Brin has been photographed with his Google Glass almost all the time. The most recent occasion was when he was spotted with the high-tech device on a beach. But just like some of the app developers, Brin is reportedly losing faith in their gadget.

Developers believe the market for such specialized and lucrative gadgets is slim. Weak sales of Google Glass confirm this. People are turning away from Glass because they don't see it as an everyday device like smartphones.

Nine of the 16 original Google Glass app developers have stopped making games and applications for the gadget. Equipped with a camera, a processor and a small computer screen, Google Glass enjoyed super hype during its release but some fans have lost interest in it.

"If there was 200 million Google Glasses sold, it would be a different perspective. There's no market at this point," said Tom Frencel, boss of Little Guy Games, one of the developers that stopped making apps for the device.

According to The A Register, Google Glass is plagued by issues that give the search engine giant more problems in marketing the device. Reports claim Glass users have been thrown out of bars and theaters because they've been suspected of piracy. Users have also gotten tickets from cops because of distracted driving.

Google, on the other hand, insists it's not letting Glass down. It reiterated its commitment to improvie and market the advanced tech gadget.

"We are completely energized and as energized as ever about the opportunity that wearables and Glass in particular represent," said Chris O'Neill, head of Glass Business Operations.
