Have you got your eye on Google Glass? Google recently announced that anyone in the United States can apply to become part of its Glass Explorer Program and order the $1,500 device starting at 9 a.m. EST on Tuesday, April 15. Prepare for this exciting new release with a first look at the popular wearable computing device’s features and functionality in our new course Introducing Google Glass, available today.

To help you decide if Glass is right for you, Introducing Google Glass will be free for all to watch through Tuesday. In the course, Doug Winnie provides an insider’s overview of Glass features and functions. He explores topics like how to tell if someone is taking a picture or video, where you can and can’t use Glass, how to control it with your mobile phone, whether multiple people can use one Glass device, and the customization and security features available.

Google Glass is a polarizing technology—a wearable computer that places both a screen and a camera near your eye, allowing unprecedented convenience but also raising ethical questions given the ease with which one can surreptitiously capture images and video. Author and gadget enthusiast Doug Winnie calls Google Glass a "heads-up display for your life." You can also use it to capture and stream a live broadcast of the world around you. In this introductory course, Doug shows off the features and functions of Google Glass while exploring the privacy concerns and social ramifications of this new device for users.
