Google is taking Glass on a road trip across the US, offers everyone a chance to try it

It’s still not ready to sell Glass to non-“Explorers”, but Google is now at least willing to give more folks an opportunity to try it. The company announced today that’s its kicking off a road trip across the US, which will see it make stops in a number of cities where you’ll be able to meet some of the team behind Glass and try on the device yourself. That begins in Durham, North Carolina on October 5th, although the company isn’t confirming any additional cities just yet (for the time being, it’s only saying to keep an eye on its Google+ page). If you’re able to make it to Durham, though, you can RSVP for the event at the source link below.

There’s no Kickstarter page, definite specs or pricing for any of this, but based on CuteCircuit’s history and the video after the break we’re inclined to believe TshirtOS is more than just viral marketing stunt for the sake of a dram — click onwards and judge for yourself.
