Google Glass tech specs unveiled

Google has unveiled the tech specifications for its Google Glasses after shipping its first batch to developers today. Google contacted Glass Explorers Monday afternoon to let them know both hardware and software for Google Glass are now ready.

Glass features adjustable nosepads and a "high resolution display" that Google says "is the equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away".

The device comes with 16GB Flash onboard storage of which 12GB is useable and is synced with Google cloud storage. Glass is tied to a Google account and automatically uploads location data along with video and photos to a Google+ Instant Upload album, according to the Glass Terms of Service.

The camera takes photos at five megapixels and video at 720p, while audio relies on a Bone Conduction Transducer system that does away with the need for earphones by transmitting audio directly to the user's skull. The battery should last about a day during "typical use" however features like Google Hangouts and video recording will drain the battery more quickly.
