Itching to strap on a $1,500 face computer so you can follow directions floating in front of your head? Well, Google just made it a little easier to claim a head-mounted display of your own — it quietly added Google Glass to the Play Store the other day, and the search giant seems intent on making it sound, well, cool. To hear the Mountain View spinmasters put it, Glass Explorers aren’t just the people who need to try tech before the teeming millions. No no, they’re “bold and inspiring,” folks who “make move and marvel through Glass.” This isn’t the first time that Google has tried to broaden Glass’ reach — they opened up the Explorer program to all comers in the US back in May, but it insisted at the time that it was still very much a “beta” product. Between then and now we’ve seen a slightly tweaked version of Glass launch and a few software updates go live — none of those changes seem terribly earth-shaking, but it sure is interesting to see Google stop treating Glass like a special little flower that isn’t ready for public consumption.
