The original explorer version retailed at around $1,500 USD with the consumer edition coming in lower at the same price as your average smartphone.

The high-tech specs video everything you see and could revolutionise everyday life.
From recording video or taking a picture with a simple "OK Glass, take a picture" to social networking and even getting directions, the sky is the limit.
