Google Glass Technical Specs
Google has published a page with some of the technical specifications of Google Glass.
SoC : unknown.
Display / projector : 640x360, "the equivalent of a 25-inch display from a distance of 2.4 meters."
Camera : 5 MP, 720p video.
Audio : Vibration Transmitter to Bone.
Connectivity : 802.11b / g WiFi, Bluetooth.
Memory : 16 GB NAND total, 12 GB free.
Battery : Capacity unknown, "1 day of typical use."
Input / output : microUSB.
System : Android 4.0.3 or higher with the My Glass app (it appeared on Google Play today).
The display / projector resolution of 640x360 with an aspect ratio of 16: 9 is known from the requirements for the user interface of applications for Google Glass.

According to rumors , the most likely SoC in the device will be OMAP4.
The lack of 802.11n specifications seems quite surprising. There is also no GPS module. All this is due to the fact that Google Glass is constantly working in conjunction with a smartphone.
Simultaneously with the technical specifications, both the documentation and the Mirror API for application developers are published.
Google sent letters to those who, even at last year’s Google I / O conference, signed up to buy a gadget. In the letter, the company says that "hardware and software are already ready," and the first copies of Google Glass Explorer "go off the assembly line right now."
Letter text from Glass Team
Dear Researchers,
A little less than a year passed since the last Google I / O conference - you came to the presentation, we jumped off the airship, and when you landed - asked you to join us on this unpredictable and exciting journey. At that time, we had no idea when the Points would be received. In just two and a half days, we increased from about 0 to about 2000 the number of Researchers - people who believe in the project, who are ready for the challenge and who, most importantly, helps to create the future Points.
Since then, we have worked hard on the research version of Points and we have great news: the hardware and software are now ready for you. We are seeing the first batch of devices coming off the assembly line right now.
We know that you waited patiently to get Points. Therefore, instead of waiting until all devices are ready, we deliver them now. We produce enough for everyone, but today only part is ready. Therefore, we will notify you in "waves" and as soon as we are ready to invite you - let us know. When this time comes, you will receive an e-mail with details.
Thank you for believing in us from the very beginning. We are happy that we have you as the first pioneers and can’t wait to celebrate with you when you all get Points.
Go to the next step.
Team Glass.
