After a successful testing period, Google has decided to make the Explorer version of Google Glass to anyone who wants to get one – provided, of course, that they live in the US and are willing to pay $1,500.
Buyers can choose from five colors, various accessories (custom frames or tinted lenses, which cost $225 and $150 respectively), and a protective case.
Google announced the news today via the official Google Glass blog, along with a few words about the first beta applications.
Last week we told you we'd be trying out new ways to find Explorers. Well, we weren't kidding. We learned a lot when we opened our site a few weeks ago, so we've decided to move to a more open beta. We're still in the Explorer Program while we continue to improve our hardware and software, but starting today anyone in the US can buy the Glass Explorer Edition, as long as we have it on hand.
You can find the ordering website here.
