Google Glass to anyone in the United States, but only for a day

Google is in the process give the opportunity for more people to try out a preview of its augmented reality glasses, the Google Glass.

The Verge has obtained documents showing that the company will expand its "Explorer Program" and will make it available on Google Glass to anyone looking to buy a pair of glasses, perhaps as early as next week.

It will be a unique and time-limited, probably only for a day, and only U.S. residents will be entitled to purchase the device for $ 1,500. Who will buy a couple of Google Glass on this occasion will also receive complimentary frame for glasses with every purchase.

According to The Verge, the promotion will be only the 15th of April, although the details have yet to be finalized.



Although this initiative will make available the Glass available to anyone in the U.S. wants to buy a pair, Google makes it clear in the leaked slide that it is an extension of its existing Explorer program, so that the pair of glasses that you will receive will be the same today as the developers, not the final version that will be available in a few months for consumers.

Apparently, Google simply wants to bring the device into the hands of as many people as possible for the purpose of testing and development in view of the official launch.Alternatively, it could be Google's way of making out inventories of Explorer editions of Glass.

Google has started accepting pre-orders for the device almost two years ago at the Google I / O 2012, when they were recorded around 2,000 orders, followed by another 8,000 in the following months. Since then, Google has made available to those interested in Glass through promotions such as the ability for existing Explorer to buy a pair of Glass for a friend.

For us consumers do not just have to wait a few more months, when Google will release the final version of Glass.
