In an interview<\/a> with Joshua Topolsky of The Verge, Google Glass Product Director Steve Lee stated that the product should be making its way to consumers by the end of 2013.\u00a0 Original estimates put the products release at 2014 and some even at 2015, but Lee seemed confident of a 2013 release date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aiming on the team to have this out as a consumer product by the end of this year\u201d Lee said.\u00a0 \u201cIn 2013, for regular people, a fully polished product.\u00a0 We don\u2019t want this to be a niche thing.\u00a0 We think this can help every human being.\u00a0 So we look forward to this being used by millions and millions of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google Glass is one of those products that is so out of this world you can hardly believe it\u2019s real.\u00a0 Although it\u2019s tentative price tag of $1500 does help put its place in reality.\u00a0 Keep in mind that this is a non-mass produced price, and it may lower once it releases to the public.\u00a0 Hopefully we see a price point near $500 once it\u2019s released.\u00a0 Take a look below to see the product in action.<\/p>\n

For those of you worried about the look of Google Glass product, or your ability to wear prescription glasses, product director Steve Lee mentioned that they are going to try to expand on the look and design of the product through other vendors.\u00a0 This could possibly lead to deals with Ray-Ban, Oakley, Maui Jim, and other designers, although none are labeled yet.\u00a0 Lee stated, \u201cBuilding an ecosystem around (Google Glass) is very important to our strategy.\u00a0 Right now we are working on a reference model for the prescription lenses, but we definitely want to partner with others.\u201d As someone who wears prescription glasses, this helps put my worries at rest.<\/p>\n

Although some are troubled by rumors of glass not being allowed in some locations (due to its ability to record things discreetly), many are tremendously excited for its launch.\u00a0 I for one can\u2019t wait to get my hands on a pair, and see how they change business and life for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
