About the Glasses:

Buy Google Glass Online: Google is out to release within the year their much anticipated product, the Google Glass. This wearable technology, also known as wearable computer and augmented reality glasses, is equipped with an optical head-mounted display that could control gadgets, take pictures, give you useful information on almost anything just by looking at something and just by clicking or touching the glass.

Google X, the same technology that worked and produced driverless cars, made these glasses.

The tech giant launched the campaign last year and only allowed selected people to take part and experience the glasses by signing up to their Glass Explorer Program.

A hefty price of $1,500 plus tax is marked by Google for their Glass Explorer Program.

However, non-Glass Explorer Program members have a chance to take part and experience the gadget as these gadgets are also available in other stores such as Amazon and EBay.

In Amazon, the glasses were priced as high as $2,648. Click here to see the Glass on sale on Amazon.

In EBay, bidding for the glasses is up and the price is now on $1,277.77 with seven bidders. Another seller has 10 more available glasses for a Buy It Now price of $1.989. Click here to see the glasses sold at EBay.

As per Google's description on the new design, the glasses will look quite different. It is reported to be a bit bulkier and will come with an optional earpiece. It looks as though the earpiece connects via a 3.5mm headphone jack to allow removal.

Google didn't ponder much on the specs of the glasses but released a statement saying:

"We want to say "thank you" for all the amazing feedback we've been getting, so later this year, all Explorers will have a one-time option to swap out their existing Glass for a new one. This hardware update will allow your Glass to work with future lines of shades and prescription frames, and we'll also include a mono earbud. You can find more details about this here:https://support.google.com/glass/answer/3501111."

Analysts speculate that Google Glass will hit the markets sometime this year. It's expected to cost around $600 once it's released, similar to the price point of a high-end smartphone.
