Google Glass 2 Explorer Price, Release Date: APX Labs Heads Software Apps

Two months after Google's cutting edge technology, Google Glass, has been been made available to the public for a limited time offer, Eric Johnsen of APX Labs has jumped from creating the enterprise side of the futuristic eyeglasses to its software production.

Now spearheaded by Johnsen, APX Labs is partners with Google for the company's Glass for Work initiative, mainly driven to promote Google Glass as a business solution.

APX Labs has been building a software development platform called Skylight, aimed at helping individuals and companies develop software programs and headset apps for Google Glass by making the process simpler.

While Johnsen has been assigned to help the Glass achieve the company's new goal of selling the future of programming to the industrial sector, rumors of Google Glass 2 being currently in the works have been circling about lately. In an article by Slash Gear in May, it was mentioned that the Chinese technology giant Crystal Optech has suggested that they have supplied samples of their technologies to America's Google Research through various middlemen. Zheijiang Crystal Optech is a $1.25 billion company from China listed in Forbes' Asia's 200 best.

Google Glass is running on Android 4.4.2 and has just recently launched Glassware, the app designed for Google Glass in May of this year.

While the first Google Glass can still be considered a prototype and still has a large room for improvement, the software giant has put a lot of faith in the possible future of computing which has the potential to leave laptops and desktop computers behind.

Google Glass is set to be available to consumers by the end of this year, but it is still unclear if the current price tag for the high tech gadget which stands at $1,500 will discourage the public.
