Google announced that they are launching an “open beta” of sorts for Google Glass. They are taking applications for users to experience the device, which is wearable technology where users can take videos, pictures or perform light web functions with a few short vocal commands.

“We’re looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass,” announced Google. “We’d love to make everyone an Explorer, but we’re starting off a bit smaller. We’re still in the early stages, and while we can’t promise everything will be perfect, we can promise it will be exciting.”

“The deadline for applications is February 27. If you are chosen, we will reach out to you with an invitation to become a Glass Explorer (please remember to follow us so that we can contact you directly),” Google notes. “Explorers will each need to pre-order a Glass Explorer Edition for $1500 plus tax and attend a special pick-up experience, in person, in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles.”Find out more at Google.com.
