The document discusses developing web applications for Google Glass using the Mirror API and highlights the use of 'cards' in the glass interface, as well as interaction with contacts. It introduces 'phass', an open-source Zend Framework 2 component designed to facilitate building Glass applications by managing backend complexities. The talk also features a demo app and outlines future enhancements for improved functionality.
PHP Development for Google Glass using Phass
- 1. PHP Development for Google Glass with Phass John Coggeshall @coogle
- 2. Welcome! Thanks for coming to my talk! A little about me - Core PHP Dev - Author - Speaker - Aquarium Hobbyist
- 3. Building GlassWare Building GlassWare for Google Glass comes in two different flavors -Native Applications -(Java-based Android SDK) -Web Applications -(Whatever you want, JSON API) This talk is going to focus (obviously) on Web applications
- 4. Building GlassWare – Getting Started Building GlassWare using the JSON API (called the Mirror API) is relatively straightforward -https://developers.google.com/glass/ Before we get started, let’s review some basic Glass concepts
- 5. Building GlassWare – Terminology The glass interface is represented primarily as a series of ‘cards’ chronologically ordered in a timeline Timeline cards are HTML/CSS - Can contain payloads (video, audio, etc.) - Can be grouped into bundles of cards
- 6. Building GlassWare – Terminology Things your Glass interacts with (i.e Sharing) are ‘Contacts’ - Contacts can be individuals (Share with Sue) - Contacts can be applications (Share with Twitter) - Building a feedback loop between glass and your application will require a contact
- 7. Building GlassWare – Terminology Your Glass application can ‘subscribe’ to events happening on glass and interact with them - Timeline card events for cards you create (i.e. card is inserted, deleted, etc.) - Subscribe to location events (i.e. user is located at these GPS coordinates updated every 10 minutes) - Subscription notifications are handled through URI callbacks.
- 8. Building GlassWare – Example Here’s a few examples: - User takes a picture, shares with the ‘Twitter’ contact, which posts the picture to their feed -Your app receives a location update, and inserts a timeline card which shows the closest bar -Your app on a periodic basis inserts a kitten video into the timeline, and based on feedback (i.e. deleted?) automatically curates future videos.
- 9. Introducing Phass So what’s Phass? Phass is a Zend Framework 2 component which abstracts away all of the plumbing for your Glass applications - OAuth2, Notification Events, Dealing with Attachments, Timeline items, Contacts, etc. Of course, it’s open source and available on Github: http://github.com/coogle/phass
- 10. Introducing Phass The Goal is to like all frameworks, let you focus on your app and not the details - I.e. automatically creating the proper user context when a location event comes in, so you can focus on what to do when the event happens Designed as a ZF2 module intentionally – can be loaded up and immediately used by any ZF2 based application to make it Glass-friendly
- 11. Phass Demo App To facilitate both testing and assist people, there is a demo application for Phass as well -http://github.com/coogle/phass-demo -http://phass.coogleapps.com/ We’re going to use this demo app to walk you through some of the basics of using Phass to build Glass applications of your own!
- 12. …. Bring on the demos!
- 13. Upcoming enhancements More powerful view rendering based on common Glass card UIs -https://developers.google.com/glass/tools-downloads/ playground Implementing some of the less-used API calls that I haven’t gotten to yet Bug fixes Want to help? Pull Requests welcome!
