Google Glass is now available in the UK for £1,000
Google announced that its Glass Explorer Programme is now available in the UK on Monday, meaning that Britons aged 18 and over can buy the augmented reality spectacles.
Google Glass, for those who have been living in a box for the past year, is "a lightweight frame and display that rests above your eyes" that allows users to perform tasks such as internet search and navigation by barking at it. For example, saying "OK Glass, give me directions to Oxford Circus," will fire up a map onto the screen, while giving users the option of voice-guided navigation.
While Glass is still in the prototype phase, Google announced today that Glass is available in the UK priced at £1,000. It is available now for anybody over the age of 18 who has a valid credit card from the dedicated Google Glass website.
