Augmented reality technology is set to be one of the biggest upcoming new instalments into this technology craving society we all live in, with Google Glass set to be the first gadget which will bring it all into the main stream. You can already go out now and get yourself some augmented reality glasses. The technology is brand new but is already being developed and released for leisure and industrial purposes by a company called Vuzix. The reason that you may not have heard of them yet is that they do not have all the marketing power of the big G, but if you do your research you can pick up some of this new technology now and put it to use.

The Google Glasses price has to be affordable in order for this technology to catch on as Google has plans to take over the consumer gadget market and dominate over other bands like Apple, but can they do it? They say the augmented reality glasses will cost around $1,500 but that was the price offered to developer’s way before a public release, so when the Google Glass release date comes we should expect to see the price set at around $1,000 or under.
