BMX bikes ! Skydiving ! gamy fives ! For everyone who was floored by the picture stunt - style launching of Google Glasses yesterday at day one of I / O , well , pump the brake . They wo n’t even be consumer - ready until 2014 , Sergey Brintold Bloomberg Television .
Though devs were able to sign on up for a pre - ordering of the Internet Explorer edition yesterday ( read : pay Google $ 1,500 for a chance to quiz a merchandise that ’s in genus Beta ) , the trial time period does n’t start until next year . But hey , they did get a sweetengraved glass brickto put on their mantel to signify that sometime in the time to come , they ’ll be part of the pilot film .
Yes , the demonstration was impressive . But wait , how do these thing even work ? And what are the specs ? Google did n’t talk about any of that . Just dope and mirrors , demonstration of how they could be used theoretically , distracting from what the actual tech behind the lens of the eye is . If the timeline of Google delivering on , for example , Android OS rollouts , is any reading , 2014 might in reality be generous . At least by then , you ’ll have saved enough money for a pair .
