Google Glass was put on sale to the public for the first time last
Tuesday and almost immediately sold out their off-white color model. The
glasses cost $1,500 and were only on sale to U.S. residents who were 18 or
older.
The device functions similarly to how a smart phone would: taking
pictures, making phone calls and even allowing users to browse the Internet.
Despite the major success of the one day sale, Google has already made
the decision to eliminatie some features such as video recording in a future
update.
However, the Glass’ sales record isn’t the only feat accomplished so
far. Already, Google Glass is showing promise as a valuable asset in the medical
field. Using the technology, Boston doctors were able to look up a man’s medical
history during an operation, enabling them to treat him with the correct
medication that may very well have saved his life.
