DESCRIPTION
This presentation was given at the Qualcomm Research Center discussing the nuances of the Google Glass Interaction Layer. Here were a few of the topics covered throughout the evening: How does the Google Glass’ interaction layer work and what constitutes good design when designing interactions for the device. First we will define ‘what an interaction is’ on Google Glass. We will proceed to identify and classify good use cases from bad ones and then address where there is a margin for innovation surrounding those various use cases

INSIDE THE GOOGLE GLASS
INTERACTION LAYER
WHAT IS GOOGLE GLASS?
INFOGRAPHIC BY M. MISSFELDT
the human/computer interaction layer (hcil) is a concept
that was defined by Bill atkinson as a way to isolate and
IDENTIFY behavior(S) WITHIN complex systems. }{
WHAT DEFINES THE INTERACTION LAYER?
Ambient noise/verbal input
visual & Audible feedback
Gestural input from: head movement, eye movement, finger taps/swipes
input from wide-angle camera (motion detection) awareness of wearer
bone conduction to hearer
Auxiliary device control via microusb, GPS, wifi & bluetooth

A natural user interface (NUI) is an emerging concept in Human/Computer
Interaction that refers to a interface that is effectively invisible, or
becomes invisible to its user with successive learned interactions.
The word natural is used because most computer interfaces use artificial
control devices whose operation has to be learned. A NUI relies on a
user being able to carry out relatively natural motions, movements or
gestures that they quickly discover control the computer application
or manipulate the digital content.
natural - organic, unthinking, prompted by instinct user interface - the points at which a user interacts with a system

the more natural the interaction,
the more meaningful the experience.
GLASS ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF GETTING TECHNOLOGY OUT OF THE WAY SO THAT WE CAN BE FREE FROM DISTRACTION (NOT MORE DISTRACTED)

GOOD USE CASES
notifications & beeps for meaningless content or reminders
filling your social feed with uninteresting junk from your life
using camera to capture distance scenes, closeups & macro photography
reading literature
constant immersion
POOR USE CASES
accessibility & assistance for the challenged/impaired
urgent notifications
immediate availability of handsfree camera
capturing precious moments with family
documenting ones own performances for self-improvement
occasional immersion
