Are you ready to pick up your very own pair of Google Glasses? Well, you’ll have to be patient: There’s finally a vague release window in sight, but you’ll be a couple years older before it arrives.
During an interview with Bloomberg Television, Google co-founder Sergey Brin announced his hopes to release the consumer version of Project Glass, Google’s augmented reality specs, sometime in 2014. The company is also aiming for a price point below $1,500.
Brin demoed the “glasses” at Google’s I/O 2012 developers conference in Califorina with a stunning presentation that involved a daredevil leap from an airplane; the skydiver wearing the device captured video of his fall while conference attendees gripped their seats and watched it projected live onto a large screen in the conference hall. After the presentation, Brin announced that those interested in purchasing a developer-only prototype of Project Glass, dubbed the “Explorer Edition,” would be able to do so for a staggering $1,500. Those units will ship in 2013, said Brin.
