Google helped create a world brimming with digital distractions for
people spending more of their lives tethered to the Internet. It's a
phenomenon that seems unlikely to change so Google is working on a way
to search for information, read text messages, watch online video and
post photos on social networks without having to fumble around with a
hand-held device.
The breakthrough is a wearable computer _ a pair of
Internet-connected glasses that Google Inc. began secretly building more
than two years ago. The technology progressed far enough for Google to
announce "Project Glass" in April. Now the futuristic experiment is
moving closer to becoming a mass-market product.
Google announced Wednesday that it's selling a prototype of the
glasses to U.S. computer programmers attending a three-day conference
that ends Friday. Developers willing to pay $1,500 for a pair of the
glasses will receive them early next year.
