About Google Glass Overview Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with a mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can communicate with the Internet via natural language voice commands. Source:

Glass Warning Safety First Be aware of your surroundings… Driving (Accidents, Tickets) Banned (Bars, Restaurants, Movie Theatres) Shady characters (Mugged, Theft)

Getting Started

Make the Case Convergence Age Key points… 177 million wearables projected by 2018 (Cisco) B2B, Industrial, Gov applications are the way to go… Think about existing clients/employer use cases, create value… Firefighters, Surgery, Virtual Classrooms, Airlines, what else?

Getting Glass Get Invited Explorer Program $1,500 (Free Shipping) Wait List 1 Per Order Choice of 5 colors 30 Day Refund Additional Items from $50 to $225. Google I/O 2014 Might be available

Getting Glass eBay Not recommended Explorer Program Code $5+ for Invite Code Move fast, expires in 7 days! Device (perfectly legal!) Over $1,500 Do your due diligence Good luck!

Unboxing Glass Contents Like a opening birthday gift… Device (headset) Twist-on Active Shade Mono Earbud Pouch Charger & Cable

Connecting Glass Synchronize Downloads, USB, WiFi… MyGlass app for Android and iOS… sorry WP  QR Code to setup Wi-Fi (if not on Android or iOS) USB cord for loading apk’s (Turn on debugging!)

Known Issues Beta Highly experimental… Bright light! (Hard to see screen in direct sun light) Overheats (Video, charging while on) API changes (getLiveCard is now createLiveCard, etc) No Built-in Contextual Voice Commands No 3G (Tethering or Wi-Fi required) Worst Desktop Web Site browsing experience iPhone Screen Cast doesn’t support touch SDK limitations (ACTION_CALL does not work!) Google Play not available Go to and for more known issues and workarounds.

The Fun Part!

Voice Input Source: ok glass SpeechRecognizer RecognizerIntent

Location and Sensors Source: LocationManager locationManager; // initialized elsewhere // This example requests fine accuracy and requires altitude, but // these criteria could be whatever you want. Criteria criteria = new Criteria(); criteria.setAccuracy(Criteria.ACCURACY_FINE); criteria.setAltitudeRequired(true); List providers = locationManager.getProviders( criteria, true /* enabledOnly */); for (String provider : providers) { locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, minTime, minDistance, listener); }

Location and Sensors Source: The following Android API sensors are supported on Glass: Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER Sensor.TYPE_GRAVITY Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE Sensor.TYPE_LIGHT Sensor.TYPE_LINEAR_ACCELERATION Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION (Deprecated, use SensorManager.getOrientation () instead.) Sensor.TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR

Camera Source: You have two options for capturing images or video: Calling the built-in camera activity with startActivityForResult(). Use this option when possible. Building your own logic with the Android Camera API. Follow these guidelines if you are using this method: Take a picture on a camera button click and a video on a long click, just like Glass does. Indicate to the user whether a picture was taken or a video was recorded. Keep the screen on during capture.

Camera Issues Source: Scrambled Embedded Preview Camera.Parameters params = camera.getParameters(); params.setPreviewFpsRange(30000, 30000) ; camera.setParameters(params); Source: Winky (< XE11) EyeGesture (XE12) import com.google.android.glass.eye.EyeGesture import com.google.android.glass.eye.EyeGestureManager Source: Source: Source: ogle-glass-developer-eye-wink ogle-glass-developer-eye-wink
