Google Glass Launches In UK: Yours For £1,000

By Joe Tidy, Sky News Reporter

Search engine giant Google has launched its wearable gadget Glass in the UK.

The company's Explorer Programme is now allowing any UK resident over the age of 18 to purchase Glass online - but it is still described as being in the prototype phase.

A limited invite-only programme has been running in the US since 2012, followed by a general launch in May.

Google is asking Glass users for their feedback on the functionality of the £1,000 device.

The company has not released any sales figures so far, but it is estimated there are as many as 300,000 users of the futuristic-looking glasses in the US.

Glass is a lightweight frame with a display that rests above the right eye allowing users to search the internet with voice control and watch videos, read emails and other activities.

Head of Glass Ivy Ross, said: "Technology is at its best when it fits seamlessly into our lives and lets us get on with whatever we're doing.

"Our goal for Glass is exactly that - to make it easier to bring people the technology they rely on without drawing them out of the moment."

Along with the launch of the UK Explorer Programme, new applications are being released, including astronomy app Star Chart and fitness game Zombies Run.

Sky News is already available on Glass through the WatchUp app.
