Google Glass - how it feels
![Page 6: Google glass a developers perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b767f14a7959a23c8b4809/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Google Glass - UX: Cards
![Page 7: Google glass a developers perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b767f14a7959a23c8b4809/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Google Glass - UX: Timeline
![Page 8: Google glass a developers perspective](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54b767f14a7959a23c8b4809/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
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
