'Explorers' to don Google Internet glasses

SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Google on Wednesday invited "explorers" with creative vision and US$1,500 (S$1,860) to spare to be part of a select group of people who get to experiment with glasses synched to the Internet.

A video intended to capture what it feels like to use Google Glass was posted online at google.com/glass/start/ along with information about what the eyewear does and how to be among those putting them to the test.

"We're looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass," said a message at the website.

"We're still in the early stages, and while we can't promise everything will be perfect, we can promise it will be exciting."
