Experience with Google Glass and Business Applications

Objective

Google Glass presents a mobile form-factor which allows for new possibilities.

This session discusses examples of user experiences, including the

disconcerting experience of "wearing" a camera all the time, reactions from

others, and navigation challenges.

We show how to design for Google Glass and demonstrate business

applications.

What is GLASS?

Its your Smartphone on your Head

Google Glass HardwareThere is a lot of hardware packed into this tiny package

Touch Pad and Camera ButtonAlthough the primary control of Glass is

intended to be voice, a touchpad exists to help

navigate through cards and menus. This is a

multitouch touchpad that allows for 2 points of

touch.

CameraGlass has a 5MP

camera capable of

shooting video at 720p

Main HousingGlass contains an impressive amount of hardware

inside of its main housing. This includes a WiFi Radio

(b/g) and Bluetooth Radio, 16GB of Storage (12

usable), 1 (2) GB RAM, OMAP 4430 CPU (Dual Core

ARM Cortex A9 clocked at 1GHZ). gyroscope,

allelerominitor and more.

BatteryGlass has a 570 mAh battery

that should get most users

through a full day of use

Micro USBUsed to charge Glass or to

manage photos via a PC

(MTP)

SpeakerGlass uses a Bone

Conduction speaker in

order to keep your ears

free

Plastic and Titanium BandA band of Plastic and Titanium are

used to form the frame of Glass. This

allows it to be both lightweight and

strong.

Microphone

Simple robust components

Android 4.0.4 and higher

640×360 display

5-megapixel camera, capable of 720p video recording

Wi-Fi 802.11b/g

Bluetooth

16GB storage (12 GB available)

Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 SoC 1.2Ghz

1 -2 Gig RAM

3 axis gyroscope

3 axis accelerometer

Here are a few things you can ask Glass

o Ok Glass, Google, what is the capital of Canada.

o Ok Glass, get directions to StarBucks.

o Ok Glass, Google, show me pictures of Kittens

o Ok Glass, Google, what are primates

o Ok Glass, Take a Picture

o Ok Glass, Record a Video

o Ok Glass, Google How do you say Hello in Thai

o Ok Glass, Google How tall is the empire state building

o Ok Glass, Google what time is in in France

o Ok Glass, Google what is the weather in Greenland

Google Glass Software

Home CardPresented everytime Glass is turned on. By

simply muttering "Ok Glass", you activate

Glass's voice controls.

Lots of Google Now cards

Phone Calls & SMSGlass allows you to make and receive

telephone calls directly from Glass via a

Bluetooth connection to your phone. Contacts

and Contact Photos are automatically pulled in

from your Google Contacts

Virgin Atlantics Improves Customer Service using Google Glass

User: Airport concierge, flight attendant

Wearable technology:Google Glass

Sony Smart Watch 2

Business Goal:Personalized services

Improved efficiency

Challenges:Speed - Matching the documents takes longer than the industry’s one second benchmark

Quality - requires near perfect light conditions within the airport for scanning documents

Authentication (demo)

https://console.developers.google.com/project

Need a google dev account

Google using oAuth

Via Developer Console

- Create a Project

- Create Credentials (keys)

- Enable Services

Anatomy of the mirror API

With Mirror API, you can;1. Managing timeline cards

2. Interacting with menu items

3. Subscribing to timeline notifications

4. Sharing to contacts

5. Working with user location

Programming

Glassware (Python, .Net, Java, Javascript, Objective-C, PHP, Go, Ruby)

HTML-based Timeline cards

Only push messages and receive images, videos and audio from the device through the so-called Mirror API right now.

Mirror Api accessible only to owners of Glass

Waiting for Glass development kit (GDK)

To develop applications on glass with

Mirror API, Google serves us different

libraries for .Net, Java, Javascript,

Objective-C, Php, Python, Ruby, Dart, Go.

if you need you can look into samples for

each library.

Flow Designer

The Glassware flow designer

lets you collaboratively design

your Glassware using common

patterns and layouts.
