Google Glass - OS
Android 4.0.4 (API level 15)
Glass Development Kit - voice recognition / voice commands / text-to-speech - API still changing with each update
Google APIs NOT available (Google MapView, etc.)
dev tools: usual Android development environment - adb, eclipse, etc.
MyGlass companion app
Android app (sometimes also on iOS)
connects to Glass via Bluetooth
Glass works as a headset
provides: - internet via the phone (when no direct WiFi for Glass) - GPS position info - screencast - UI extension - app install / remove & app related authentication
Google Glass - how it feels
Google Glass - UX: Cards
Google Glass - UX: Timeline
Google Glass - UX: Input
- ‘touchpad’ on the side of the glass - tap (‘click’) - swipe (‘forward’ / ‘backward’) - swipe down (‘back’)
- head / face gestures - look around - look up (wake up) - wink (‘take a picture’)
Google Glass - UX: Voice
Voice
‘OK, Glass’ -> voice command (start your activity)
or use within your app
your app declares the commands as a simple strings
Text-to-speech: read stuff out loud
Google Glass Terminology
- Card on Timeline (right of ‘OK, Glass’, in time order)- Pinned card (left ok ‘OK, Glass’, static order)
- Static Card: displays static info (typically on timeline)
- Live Card: displays changing info update contents from an android Service
- Immersion: a ‘usual android app’
- Glassware: your app for the Glass
Google Glass - development
As a usual Android App- for API 15 (Android 4.0.4)- may use Google Development Kit- have to distribute APK file somehow
Mirror API- create a web service- Google will push the contents to the Glass- create Cards using this approach- no APK, just distribute the web service URL
How to distrubute Glassware
