With New Google Glass and Smartwatch, Google Wants to Be All Over Your Body

We’ll begin with those glasses and that small screen that Google wants to put in front of your eyes. While Google began its Glass Explorer program in the spring, the company is planning to expand it before the full consumer launch of Glass in 2014. Glass Explorers, who were chosen by the company yet still had to pay $1,500 for the glasses that display digital info right in front of your eye, are now allowed to invite three of their friends to the program.

Those Explorers will also have access to a new Glass device that allows the digital spectacles to work with prescription frames and includes a new earbud. Google does not state if the battery life has been improved, but it does state that it will allow those early buyers to swap out their Glass for a new color option.

But Glass doesn’t look like it will be the only Google gadget you can put on your body next year. Google is in the final stages of creating its own smartwatch and has begun talking to Asian suppliers to begin mass production, the Wall Street Journal reports. Google did not respond to ABC News’ request for comment on the report.
