Google finally launches prescription Google Glass with the Titanium Collection
We’ve known for some time that Google has been working on prescription Google Glass for some time now, and while we’ve only had sneak peeks whenever they pop up, Google has finally officially launched prescription upgrades for Google Glass Explorers to purchase from tomorrow. Called the Titanium Collection, it includes 4 different titanium frames which can be married with the existing Google Glass and 2 additional sunglasses designs which can also be chosen. Check out Google’s introduction video to the Collection:
Each of these prescription frame designs – Split, Thin, Bold and Curve – can be purchased for $225 USD each (check them out at google.com/glass), though Google is said to be working with VSP, the largest U.S. optical health insurer, to worked out subsidies for Explorers who qualify under their umbrella. However, if none of these styles take your fancy, Google also promises that there is more to come.
As a perpetual glasses wearer, I can’t say that any of the styles particularly jumps out at me as they look quite, for lack of a better description, hipster, but that will probably vary depend on your predisposition; what do you think about these new prescription Google Glass frames?
