Google Glass isn't available yet, but here are some of the features we can't wait to try.

Last June, Google co-founder and chief executive Sergey Brin pulled off what we called the most kick-a** tech demo ever, mixing skydiving, BMX biking, and rappelling all to show off Google Glass, the augmented-reality eyeglasses that Google has been working to develop.
Since then, Glass has popped up at tech events, the Oscars (compliments of Brin's wife, Anne Wojcicki), and on gadget blog The Verge, among other places. The goal is to sell it for less than the $1,500 that Google is currently charging developers and enthusiasts (or "Pioneers"), according to reports, although the final price of Glass isn't yet known.
Last year, Google released a "One Day" video, showing off the promise of Google Glass. Basically, Google Glass includes most of the features found in Android, including cloud-based connections to Google Maps, Google, Hangouts, plus the ability to issue reminders, take pictures and videos, and even check the weather.
We now know that Google uses the keyphrase "Hello Glass" to trigger the device, a general look up, or a small button on the side of the glasses themselves. (Nothing's been said about this, but keep in mind that a device that is constantly "listening" is going to use substantially more power than a device that wakes up via manual activation.) It's also a bit disconcerting, as in the Wojcicki video above, to hear "OK Glass" dropped into the middle of a conversation.
Still, Google manages to pack quite a bit into its video, showing off in a few short minutes what we all hope will be in Google Glass when it launches later this year. Here are the highlights.
