If
you are planning to pay $1,500 (Rs.90,000) to shop for your set of Google Glass
soon, then this data might shock you that it takes electronic elements worth
only $80 (Rs.4,800) to develop one eyewear device.
As per the web site teardown.com, researchers
surveyed one of the prototype of Google Glass and revealed what goes into
developing Google Glass.
The only most costly object that they found
within the Google Glass is a Texas Instruments ‘OMAP 4430′ applications
processor that costs $13.96 (Rs.800).
There is conjointly a camera worth $5.66, a
display worth $3 and flash memory of 16GB from Toshiba worth $8.18.
The website also mentioned that this is
simply a rough estimate of the value of the components and that they would
perform a deeper analysis soon.
Nevertheless, a spokesperson from Google said
that the estimate of the teardown website was incorrect.
Google is likely to launch a less expensive
version of Google Glass later this year.
Google will also offer a free sun-glass shade or
one of its newly introduced prescription glasses frames in conjunction with any
purchase.
