GOOGLE GLASS


Google Glass was finally available to the general public.  For one day only, this past April 15, if you were willing to cough up the $1500 you could be the first on your block with this new wearable technology.  Prior to this they were only available to a select few in Google's Explorer program.  These people were hand selected by Google to test drive Glass and give them feedback.  Google is expected to officially launch Glass later this year.  I'm sure in time for Christmas shopping!

OK now to the important stuff, how does it look!  I have to say the first roll out looks pretty good.  Glass itself comes in 5 colors. 


They have 4 prescription frame options.


The frames are hand made in Japan and are all titanium.  The frames come stock with high quality antireflective coating on the nonprescription demo lenses.  They are not recommended for minors.  Google also doesn't recommend polarized lenses.  The current prescription range is +2.00 to -4.00.  That range is expected to expand as they release new styles.  Google is currently in talks with Ray Ban, Oakley and DVF to release their own version of Glass.  Last year DVF even used Glass to show us a special perspective of her spring show for fashion week.  She even had the models where Glass on the runway.
