Google Has Now Invited All 2,000 People Who Signed Up At Last Year's I/O To Pick Up Glass

google glassToday, Steve Lee of the Google X and Glass Team, announced that as of last week, all 2,000 developers who joined up for the Glass Explorer program at last year’s I/O conference have now been invited to pick their pair up from Google’s offices in Mountain View, New York City or Los Angeles. Of course, not everyone has to actually pay the $1,500 to get them, but it’s safe to say that most of these developers will be picking their pair up. Lee also noted that the 8,000 #ifihadglass “winners,” who still have to pay their way, will start getting theirs soon. The importance of having the device in the hands of those who will be building apps, the only way that we’ll ever know what the device is capable of, was not an easy thing to do. You can’t really seed a device that sits on your face quietly, thus the Explorer program that was announced last year. As we’ve walked around the I/O conference, it’s been commonplace to find someone stopping to take a picture or slide through the timeline in front of their place. There are still a lot of questions to be answered as to whether this is a device that will catch on for consumers, but watching its evolution in the earliest days is fun to watch. This is developing.
