Dubai: While Google Glass is only available in the US, some of them have made their way here to the UAE.
And the newfangled electronic eyeglasses are getting mixed reviews.
Google Glass, a small wearable computer mounted onto eyeglasses, can take photos, record videos, access the internet and give directions, among other uses. It also has a number of apps meant for people on the go, or who have an active lifestyle. It’s compatible with both Android and iOS.
The Glass Explorer Programme, which allowed some people to be among the first to experience and test this new technology, was launched a year ago.
Gulf News wanted to explore the new glasses but the company declined a request for an interview, noting that the glasses are not officially for sale in the region yet and there are no plans to do so in the near future.
However, on its social media webpage on Google+, the firm announced that on April 15 it was opening new spots in the Glass Explorer Programme.
