These units are helping developers create applications for Glass that leverage the device’s augmented reality technology and other features.

Google continues to make updates to Glass platform

Google has been making changes to the Glass platform based on the feedback it has received from users of its prototype models. Existing users will be able to trade in their current pair of glasses for newer models when they become available, but a full launch is not expected to take place within the coming months. Google is currently working to placate concerns that some people have regarding privacy and how it may be compromised through the use of Glass.
