Google Glass Could Be for Sale By the End of This Year

Tech Google Glass Could Be for Sale By the End of This Year

The thing I can't stop thinking about this morning is Joshua Topolsky's early-user review of Google Glass, the glasses with Google inside:

Here?s what you see: the time is displayed, with a small amount of text underneath that reads "ok glass." That?s how you get Glass to wake up to your voice commands. Actually, it?s a two-step process. First you have to touch the side of the device (which is actually a touchpad), or tilt your head upward slowly, a gesture which tells Glass to wake up. Once you?ve done that, you start issuing commands by speaking "ok glass" first, or scroll through the options using your finger along the side of the device. You can scroll items by moving your finger backwards or forward along the strip, you select by tapping, and move "back" by swiping down. Most of the big interaction is done by voice, however.

Topolsky never stops feeling weird about walking around New York City with a pair of asymmetrical whoozimawhatsises on his head, but he does enjoy the Glass experience, deciding ultimately that it's not a case of if some sort of Google Glass becomes popular with the general public, but when. He also reveals that Google might be planning on selling these by the end of this year. You should go read the whole, star-struck review. Now I know I asked Slog about Google Glass last year, but it's getting closer, and I'd like to see if our opinion has changed. Therefore...
