Specifications for Google’s upcoming computerized glasses product, called Google Glass, have been revealed in documents filed with and published by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which approves devices that make use of the radio spectrum. Here’s an image of a label on the glasses featured in an image filed with the agency:

 

According to the documents, the hi-tech specs will contain the following technical features:

-802.11 b/g 2.4 GHz Broadcom radio with WiFi, transmitting at least 1-6 mbps (megabits per second) 

-Bluetooth 4.0 LE 

-An A/C charger 

-A USB connector cable 

Google also requested the FCC keep photos of Google Glass and a user’s manual secret for 180 days after January 14. Google this week held its first “hackathons,” or developer testing events, for select software developers who pre-registered for the first limited edition of the glasses, called “Google Glass: Explorer Edition,” which Google unveiled last summer and priced at $1,500 per pair.
