Hacker builds Google Glass clone

You’re not the only one who missed out on dropping $1,500 for Google Glass Explorer Edition. An Australian geek, who goes by the “Evil Dead” name Ash_Williams on Australian PC hardware community forum Overclockers, doesn’t have one either. So he made his own.

The hacker’s version is called Flass, a combination of “fake” and “glass.” It’s powered by a Nokia N9 phone. The TV-out feature of the phone feeds the eye display, which is mounted on a set of real glasses using cable ties. Ash_Williams has gone through four different versions of Flass so far.
