Prototypes of the Google Glass Explorer Edition will cost $ 1,500 and you can book
Another curious product of Google's presentation yesterday were their Augmented Reality glasses Glass Explorer (formerly known as Project Glasses). The developments in this area are not great. The glasses are making good progress in integrating real functions and to prove nothing like a live performance. So neither short nor lazy members of the development team have taken the Glass Explorer, has been hooked Glass Explorer and after getting on a plane, have thrown in ... parachute over the convention center where they celebrated the event.
It was amazing the live broadcast and live the decline seen through this unique gadget in one of the most spectacular demonstrations have been in this type of technology events. With the things I could have missed (I would say Microsoft and its famous blue screen and the like), luck sided with Google and everything went as planned. There is also this other video showing a jump test which also was the co-founder of Google Sergey Brin.
Sergey Brin himself gave few other details on Glass in the I / O keynote as recording photographs and video camera, touchpad control system, processor power or new communication channels that can open Glass. Nothing really we did not know already.
As if progress has been is getting a Glass Explorer Edition. Be the first Android developer. The second $ 1,500 available for trade for a Glass Explorer beta, ie prototype, with which to start developing your ideas for the future. The third thing to be assistant to the I / O keynote this year. And finally live in the U.S. since it seems that moento existean some restrictions, ie problems for export. The pre-booking (to be delivered to early 2013) is now open so hurry because otherwise you will have to wait a while yet undefined to access a final model, which is that Google still has no idea of when they have a commercial version.
