With each announcement, the company reveals a bit more of its secrets. This time around, the video above shows Google Glass&#8217; UI in <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/glass\/start\/how-it-feels\/\">real world situations<\/a> &#8212; you know, real world as in jumping from a plane and swinging on a trapeze. Forget about the <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2012\/04\/04\/google-project-glas\/\">wide-eyed concept videos<\/a>; this is the real deal.<\/p>\n<p>Get ready for <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/01\/28\/glassholes\/\">even more Glasshole sightings<\/a>, Google is ready to hand out Google Glass units to non-developer types. But you have to apply. And still pay the Glass Explorer Edition&#8217;s $1,500 price tag. But Google Glass!<\/p>\n<p>Using the hashtag #ifihadglass, take to Twitter or Google + and with 50 words or less, explain how you would use Google Glass. Photos and videos can be included as well. The deadline is February 27, and Google didn&#8217;t state how many Glass units will be handed out through this program, but the competition will be fierce.<\/p>\n<p>The UI shown in the video is radically more subdued than in the original concept video. Gone are the little circles and VH1 Pop-Up Video-ish notifications. Instead, users interact with Google Glass through a single pane in the top right. Everything from Google searches to notifications to hangouts seemingly happen in this one space &#8212; rather than dancing around the field of vision like in earlier Google Glass videos.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"clear:both;margin-left:5px;margin-bottom:5px;text-align:center;color:#0a9400;\">The world seen through Google&#8217;s omnipresent eye but where are the ads?<\/h3>\n<p>Google has yet to announce when general consumers will be able to buy Google Glass. But that&#8217;s smart.<\/p>\n<p>Google is slowly rolling out units to die-hard fans that can likely help the development and deal with first-gen bugs. Frankly, at this point, Google Glass isn&#8217;t ready for mass consumption. It<br \/>\nwill be released when it&#8217;s ready and until then, lowly consumers like most of us will have to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the future vicariously through YouTube demo videos.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/google-glass-2\/' title='google glass'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/google-glass-3\/' title='google glass'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass2\/' title='glass2'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass10\/' title='glass10'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass9\/' title='glass9'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass8\/' title='glass8'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass7\/' title='glass7'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass6\/' title='glass6'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass4\/' title='glass4'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/02\/20\/google-finally-shows-of-google-glass-ui-announces-ifihadglass-purchase-campaign\/glass3\/' title='glass3'><\/a><\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/761451\/\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=kS--CuyOFXc:z9Wymikl59g:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=kS--CuyOFXc:z9Wymikl59g:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=kS--CuyOFXc:z9Wymikl59g:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=kS--CuyOFXc:z9Wymikl59g:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=kS--CuyOFXc:z9Wymikl59g:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is slowly pulling down Google Glass&#8217; veil of secrecy.
