Google Glass Explorer Edition 2.0 release
The Glass Explorers program had about 8,000 testers, so that means there may soon be as many as 32,000 people running around with Google Glass on their faces

The Glass Explorers program had about 8,000 testers, so that means there may soon be as many as 32,000 people running around with Google Glass on their faces.

Google Glass has an asymmetrical design, with the device's processor, memory, and other internal hardware housed in a curved plastic bar that hugs the right side of your face. A thinner visor-like portion of the bar wraps around your head to hold everything in place, and it pancakes into another thicker section behind your right ear (where Glass' battery lives). Two nose pads protrude from wires to prop Glass up.

There's a micro-USB port on the bottom of the main body, sitting just in front of your right ear. That's where you charge Glass (more on that later), and also where you plug in optional earbud accessories.

“Google Glass 2” will be compatible with prescription frames and future lines of sunglasses. The second edition Glass also includes a mono earbud to replace the bone conduction speaker the Explorer Edition of Glass has. Glass Explorers can even request Google for a new color.

Glass not only gives you visual feedback on that display, but it also gives you audio feedback. If you aren't using any accessories, then that happens through a bone conduction transducer that sits above (and a little behind) your right ear. That little transducer sends vibrations through your skull, but I find the sensation similar to having a little speaker sitting near my right ear. The only difference is that other people nearby won't hear much out of it. You can adjust Glass' volume in its settings, and if there's too much background noise, covering your right ear should help you to better hear the bone conduction audio.

The 2nd version of the Explorer Edition that we've been using also includes a separate mono earbud accessory that plugs into its micro-USB port to deliver better sound. Glass Explorers also have the option of buying a pair of wired stereo earbuds for $85.
