Google Glass Explorer is evolving. A new version of the headset will soon be rolling out that is designed to work with prescription glasses and sunglasses.
Google Glass 2 will also come with a mono earbud for those not convinced by the bone-vibration sound functionality.
Budding change
The latter inclusion is interesting - the bone vibration sound was a noted feature in the first Explorers, but there has been negative feedback around this and Google has moved to remedy the problem.
Those lucky enough to be on the Explorer program (and to be able to afford the headset in the first place) can take the opportunity to choose a different hue of Glass and, perhaps more interestingly, can now nominate three 'friends' to get the chance to buy in to the pilot scheme.
"They'll be able to buy Glass online and can have it shipped to their home, office, treehouse or igloo," noted Google.
"We're counting on you to get Glass to the people you think will make great Explorers. More Explorers means more feedback, and more feedback means better Glass."
We're still waiting on an official release date for the Google Glass consumer edition, with the hopes of a 2013 arrival fading rapidly.
- Want to know about the future of Google Glass? Or perhaps you agree that Google Glass has crippled itself with worry.
