This document discusses Google Glass, including its hardware specifications, operating system, user experience, and development. Google Glass features a head-mounted display, camera, and sensors. It runs Android and is controlled primarily through voice commands and gestures. Apps are developed similarly to Android but also use the Mirror API to display information without installing an app. The document explores Google Glass's augmented reality capabilities and potential future applications of augmented reality in technologies like contact lenses.

- 1. Google Glass ICT Day 2014 Maróy Ákos [email protected]
- 2. Google Glass - AR
- 3. Google Glass - how it feels
- 4. Google Glass - hardware
- 5. Google Glass - hardware TI OMAP 4430 Soc 1.2GHz dual core ARMv7 682MB RAM 16GB storage (12GB available) 640x360 display 5MP camera, 720p video recording WiFi, Bluetooth 3 axis gyroscope 3 axis accelerometer 3 axis compass Ambient light sensor Touchpad Bone conduction transducer (available external speakers) Microphone
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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
- 8. Google Glass - how it feels
- 9. Google Glass - UX: Cards
- 10. Google Glass - UX: Timeline
- 12. 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’)
- 13. Head gestures - copter
- 14. 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
- 15. 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
- 16. Google Glass - development As a usual Android App - for API 15 (Android 4.0.4) - may use Glass 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
- 17. How to distribute Glassware No ‘Play store’ available yet ‘Glass Explorers’ community
- 18. Similar products - Recon runs also on Android
- 19. Similar products - Recon
- 20. Similar - SpaceGlass full vision, two screens (one per eye), 3D Unity3D, OS unclear
- 22. Future - AR contact lenses special polarized filter, allows long-distance and short focus
- 23. Future - AR contact lenses
