Fresh details about Google's eagerly-anticipated smart glasses have been released by the company.

A YouTube video uploaded by the company shows Google Glass in action - including the interface which appears in the wearer's line of sight.

The search giant has also opened up the trial of the product to "creative individuals" and developers.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin was recently spotted on New York's subway testing the device.

The product was first unveiled as part of a demonstration at a Google launch event last year where developers were offered early access to the device for $1,500.

The company is now inviting people in the US to use the hashtag #ifihadaglass to suggest ways they would make use of the headset.

"We're looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass," Google said.

Indeed, this is a very interesting project! I have no doubt that this is the future, however I do think that while the time will pass, this "Glass" will become smaller, and at some point we will be using a similar gadget, the size of a contact lens.

Have to admire Google for being one step ahead of everbody esle.....
