Glass

Sadly, Glass isn't expected to reach consumers until 2014. For now, you can try to get an invite to preorder a pair from Google for $1,500.

Google says its Glass will weigh less than a typical pair of sunglasses.

And if you want them to act as sunglasses, it appears you'll be able to add that function on thanks to the modular design.
