Google X boss says company should have curbed Glass hype

SAN FRANCISCO: Google Inc was wrong to let expectations about its Glass wearable gadget get overheated, the head of the Google X research lab said on Tuesday.

The Internet company did not do enough to make clear that the $1,500 computer that mounts to a pair of eyeglasses was merely a prototype and not a finished product, Google's Astro Teller said during a talk at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin.
