Google Glass Patent shows add-on kits to be made available for those with prescription glasses

The latest on the Google Glass front is a real sight for sore eyes. Google Glass kits will also become easily available for those require prescription glasses. This might be something we naturally assumed seeing has a larger portion of the world population does wear specials, myself included in that survey. The new add on kits are designed by Google and were already showcased at their May I/O event. The kit will be available in stores and is a sort of DIY scenario. Parts and materials will be available with the kit and from the looks of the schematics and drawings, it seems like an easy fit.

Part of the kit will include arms for the side that would house the circuitry, power packs and other communication modules. Aluminium would be used as the rim but it?s also possible that other metals like stainless steel, titanium, nickel, gold, or various alloys would not be a problem to use. It would even be possible to fit the arms into plastic casings as long as the interior was solid enough to safely house the components. The patent has already been sent in and although it?s far from ready to be deployed, we?re presuming a few changes and possibly customisation options would become available when it?s ready for retail. It also looks like you could simply tack on these components to your existing pair of glasses instead opting to purchase a completely new set that was designed to work with the Google Glass kit. That would be so much better for us all. In another figure of the patent design, magnets seem to be used to possible clip on the frames so they could be detached easily when not required.

As of now, since it?s only a patent filing, there?s no word on the actual availability of the kits yet, let alone a price tag. Let?s just hope that it doesn?t become more expensive simple because of the added ?prescription? angle.
