One day only—get your Google Glass

Beth Walsh | | Health Exec | Digital Transformation

For one day only, anyone can purchase their own Google Glass.

Google has sold the augmented reality glasses to only a limited number of "Explorers" during its beta testing phase. But on April 15, the company will open its Explorer program to those with a U.S. address and $1,500 (plus tax). Buyers can even select their favorite shade or frame.

Only a limited number of spots are available, so learn more here.
