Google Glass took its first steps to global availability today. Available only in the U.S. to date, Google announced that it is extending its open beta Explorer program to the UK as of today.
The world sees the UK as a center (actually, a centre) of innovation. It has produced some of the greatest technology inventors and inventions of the last century, and people on the ground are always excited to explore new products and ideas.
Google Glass will sell for £1,000 (about CA$1,800) in the UK. Google will offer demonstrations during its London Demo Days on June 27 and June 28 to give prospective buyers a chance to try Glass out before making a commitment. Along with a chance to try out Glass, you will also get to meet members of the team and “and enjoy local treats and beverages.” If interested, make sure you RSVP for the event.
Google opened up Glass sales to everyone in the U.S. back in May. The program remains in beta with a consumer version of Google Glass expected later this year or possibly next year.
There is still no word on when Google Glass will make its way to Canada.
