Google’s Futuristic Glasses May Drop This Year


It’s an open secret that Google is planning to sell a new kind of Terminator-style heads-up glasses. Today, new details emerged that the glasses are rumored to cost around $250 to $600.  Those familiar to the product say that the glasses will have a built in low-resolution camera, wireless broadband connectivity, and be based on the Android operating system.

Users, allegedly, will control the glasses by moving and tilting one’s head. Seth Weintraub, a blogger at Google 9 to 5, writes: “We are told it is very quick to learn and once the user is adept at navigation, it becomes second nature and almost indistinguishable to outside users.”

The low-resolution camera will also have a heads-up display that can display navigational information and other data from around the users location.

The rumored glasses come on the heels of another big discover that Google is building a $120 million to test “precision optical technology.”

What do you think? Would you buy these glasses?
