Controlling the device

• Voice commands• "OK Glass" activates voice commands

• Head movements• Lifting head brings Glass out of dormancy

• Swipes on the side• Tapping brings Glass out of dormancy or drills down into a card (for a "sub-

timeline")• Side-to-side swipe is like a carousel for the cards• Down-swipe is "dismiss" or "back" or "become dormant"

• (No keyboard input that I'm aware of without a hack or an app)

8

Demos• Take a picture; take a video• Google for something• Get directions• Word Lens• How do you say " " in " "?• Level app, Compass app• Play a game with... Matcher, Tennis• Post an update...• My learn-a-language app• Students' keyboard apps

The code:

public class CardScrollActivity extends Activity {

private List<Card> mCards; private CardScrollView mCardScrollView;

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

createCards();

mCardScrollView = new CardScrollView(this); ExampleCardScrollAdapter adapter = new ExampleCardScrollAdapter(); mCardScrollView.setAdapter(adapter); mCardScrollView.activate(); setContentView(mCardScrollView); }

17

private void createCards() { mCards = new ArrayList<Card>();

Card card;

card = new Card(this); card.setText("This card has a footer."); card.setFootnote("I'm the footer!"); mCards.add(card);

card = new Card(this); card.setText("This card has a kitten background image."); card.setFootnote("How can you resist?"); card.setImageLayout(Card.ImageLayout.FULL); card.addImage(R.drawable.kitten_bg); mCards.add(card);

card = new Card(this); card.setText("This card has a mosaic of kitties."); card.setFootnote("Aren't they precious?"); card.setImageLayout(Card.ImageLayout.LEFT); card.addImage(R.drawable.kitten_small_1); card.addImage(R.drawable.kitten_small_2); card.addImage(R.drawable.kitten_small_3); mCards.add(card); }

18

private class ExampleCardScrollAdapter extends CardScrollAdapter {

@Override public int findIdPosition(Object id) { return -1; }

@Override public int findItemPosition(Object item) { return mCards.indexOf(item); }

@Override public int getCount() { return mCards.size(); }

@Override public Object getItem(int position) { return mCards.get(position); }

@Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { return mCards.get(position).toView(); } }
