After a lengthy trial period in the US, Google is now extending its Glass Explorer program to the UK<\/a>. That means you can be one of the first in the\u00a0world\u00a0to trial a set of\u00a0Google’s smart eyewear.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen much of Google Glass before, here’s the skinny. When worn, Glass provides a small display in the corner of your vision, which you can control using voice commands or the touchpad. You can use Glass to take first-person photos or videos, find answers, get directions and run a range of other interesting apps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can buy a set of Google Glass from the Play Store for immediate despatch. There are five different coloured units\u00a0available: charcoal, tangerine, cotton, shale and sky.<\/p>\n

The cost is \u00a31000, but you do get the small bonus of a free frame or shade out of the many options available near the bottom of the page. Google have recently introduced their Titanium Collection of lightweight designer frames, so you have more options than ever before.<\/p>\n

Google Glass is not yet entirely practical (especially at this price point), but it is quite amazing. If you want to attract attention wherever you go, take unique photos or just see what the future of wearable technology is going to be like, then this is your opportunity.<\/p>\n
