"Google co-founder Sergey Brin has promised that the firm&amp;#039;s Glass Glass eyewear will offer users more freedom than a smartphone. The executive said that the headset will be less &amp;quot;emasculating&amp;quot; than a phone as it will free up users&amp;#039; hands and eyes so they can continue to interact with the people around them, Forbes reports.  &amp;quot;When we made [Google Glass] we thought, &amp;#039;Can we make something that frees your hands and frees your eyes?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Brin told attendees at the TED 2013 conference in California. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s why we put the display up high and out of your line of sight so you can make eye contact with people.&amp;quot;   Brin went on to say that the concept of Google Glass took two years to evolve beyond that of a &amp;quot;cellphone strapped to your head&amp;quot;, but insists the product is a realisation of Google&amp;#039;s ethos to deliver information before the user realises they need it. &amp;quot;Fifteen years later this is first form factor that delivers on that vision,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve learned a lot.&amp;quot; Google is reportedly planning to deliver the consumer version of Google Glass later this year, with reports suggesting the final product will cost less than the $1,500 (\u00A3983) developer builds are priced at.
