Google has officially announced the complete specifications of Google
Glasses. The most important element of the glasses is the ‘glass’ or the
screen covering the eye. Google has said that the Glasses will come
with a high resolution display. The display is supposed to be so
powerful that Google quoted it will be "equivalent to a 25-inch high
definition screen from eight feet away."
The initial editions will have features similar to a medium-budget smartphone. The glasses will come with front-facing 5 MP cameras. The video-recorder does not support HD recording. So while the videos recorded will not be of high quality, the 720p resolution will ensure decent frames.
While the device will come with an internal memory of 16 GB, just 12 GB will be user-available. We think that’s pretty generous considering they’re glasses and not normal phones. Further, storage will be via Google’s cloud computing as the glasses will be synced with cloud. So space shouldn’t really be an issue.
Google Glass supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. While connectivity options are regular, it means that the Glasses will be pretty useless in areas of no connectivity or with low connectivity. Also, with most countries still awaiting Wi-Fi hubs, the Glasses might be targeted at specific regions initially.

The Glasses will support audio via bone conduction. According to the
report: The technique essentially turns the wearer's head into an
amplifier and it is a sensation that will be familiar to anyone who uses
a waterproof MP3 player.
There’s no word on the battery but Google stated that charging once a day would be essential meaning the battery will last for about a day. However, with heavy video recording and conferences, the lasting power might not be the same.
The device can be synced with Android smartphones running the MyGlass app which has already been released by Google in the Google Play store. Google is confident that the glasses have been designed in a way that one-size-fits-all. However, the glasses will come with special nose-pads in case of need for adjustments.
Google has already begun shipping the first edition or ‘Explorer’ edition of the glasses. The glasses are priced at 1500 dollars tentatively for the developer version.
