Google unveiled its “project glass” demo which is a futuristic “augmented reality” eyeglass. These glasses have become a target for more than a few parodies. The glasses have a few conceptual flaws but that didn’t stop Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin from wearing a pair of these glasses to a charity event in San Francisco. Unfortunately Google has revealed very little about the timeline for the project, but some say that an experimental version may be available by the end of 2012. This product would cost between $250 and $600 according to Electronista. Early reports say that the product will not be available for at least 2 years but that it may be worth the wait. One person who was able to try out the glasses gave a positive review to the New York Times. The tester said that it is much more convenient because you can press a button instead of reaching into your pocket. This piece of technology allows people to be even more portable than they are today. Now there no need to carry around a cell phone because it will be a part of your glasses. When this product is mass marketed it will be a success because it is so convenient and everyone is looking for a way to make things easier and take less time.
