A few weeks ago, we reported Google was hard at work on a pair of futuristic glasses that incorporate a screen and feed information to their users in real time.
At that time, it looked as if the high-tech glasses might reach the public for beta testing this year. Now, however, The New York Times reports the Android-powered glasses will go on sale later this year and likely fetch $250 to $650 a pop, or roughly the price of a smartphone.

According to 9to5Google, Google’s been hard at work on a pair of glasses that would do that and more – and the fruits of their amazing labor are nearing the testing phase. A source privy to the project said the prototype glasses resemble Oakley Thumps, or slightly bulky sunglasses, and incorporate a screen into one of the lenses. In current guise, the glasses also feature a small (duh) camera, speakers, and a microphone, all powered by hardware found in last-generation Android phones. Oh, and they can make and receive calls, too.
