Google Glass gets prescription glasses: four styles, $225 each (video)
1/28/2014 5:22:00 AM
Remember when Google said its wearable would work perfectly fine with prescription glasses? Well it's finally delivered, offering a $225 upgrade option for current Google Glass Explorers. Crafted from titanium (whatever else?), the designs are pretty unassuming and classy: they look like glasses frames you'd see at an optometrist. There's four frame styles to choose from -- Curve, Thin, Split, Bold -- making the selection sound more like font categories than glasses. Google Glass then attaches to the frame through several screws. More styles (in other materials and shapes, possibly) are incoming, but the team behind the initial range (the designs were all done in-house at Google) said their aim was simplicity -- it helps that the extra frame-age also helps to obscure the still rather conspicuous Google eye-piece. Early adopters will be able to shop around for frames starting the afternoon.
Update: According to the New York Times, VSP, the largest optical health insurance provider in the US, are working with Google to offer subsidized frames and lenses.
