South African online retailer Takealot has a limited number of Google Glass
devices available to purchase from its website. Google Glass is a connected
headset which allows users to interact with the internet hands free using vocal
commands.
The device features:
• A 5 megapixel camera which can record 720p in video
• 16 GB of storage (12 GB available)
• A Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), field-sequential colour, LED illuminated
display
• A touchpad
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
• Bluetooth
• 2GB RAM
Google introduced the product at its developer conference in 2012 and
announced in April 2014 that it would allow users outside its Glass Explorer
programme to purchase the device. However, Google Glass is still a prototype
and has already experienced a number of obstacles including being banned from
certain bars in the US and from movies theatres in the UK because of privacy
and piracy issues.
Takealot offers the device in Split Style frames and Edge Style shades for R26
999.
