On Tuesday, April 15 at 6a.m., Google glass will be available on a "limited" sale for one day only. 

The device carries a steep price tag of $1,500.  In order to buy it,  you have to fill out an online form and must be 18-years-old and older. 

Google glass is part of a program called "Glass Explorer" and the device is not yet available to the entire public. According to the wire, it won't be available to the average Joe until later this year. 

Despite limited availability, there is still a chance to be apart of the lucky few chosen to purchase and test-out the product. 

According to BBC News, Google previously sold the eyewear to more than 7,000 individuals as part of their Explorer program in 2013. 

Developers have been trying to expand the program over the past several months, according to its release. Some of their efforts included asking the public on Twitter, what they would do if they owned Google Glass using the hashtag #ifihadglass. 

Participants in the Explorer program offer different perspectives and suggestions on how the device can be improved. 

"Everyday, we get requests from those of you who haven't found a way into the program yet and we want your feedback too," developers stated in its release. 

The device is a headset you wear like a pair of glasses, it has a optical head-mounted display that projects images. Functions include the ability to check emails, make phone calls, and browse the web without missing a beat. 

You can now sign up to receive a reminder to purchase the device before it goes on sale.
