6 Google Glass Contest Winners Pay $1500 to Try the Wearable Computer
I got…$1500 on it.
Not exactly, but apparently the six lucky winners selected to try Google Glass have agreed to pay the Menlo Park, California-based company a nice chunk of change to get their hands on the wearable computer. The Project Glass Twitter account (@projectglass) has started informing the 8,000 contest winners by responding individually to their #ifihadglass tweets.
The Twitter message reads: “You’re invited to join our #glassexplorers program. Woohoo! Make sure to follow us — we’ll DM in the coming week.â€
Google gave us a sneak peek into the world of Glass when the company posted a video on the Project Glass website in February, showcasing the high-tech headset’s functionalities. Glass, which doesn’t have actual lenses in front of your eyes (but a small screen), is able to take photos, record videos, look up answers on Google and show reminders, among other features.
