Google Glass is not only difficult to come by but requires tremendous skill to teardown. Scott Torborg and Star Simpson, in cooperation with SparkFun, took a look inside the sought-after device. They then graciously agreed to share the teardown as a way to “give back” to the engineering community. What follows is their look inside Google Glass.
