GoogleGlass Sample
Google Glass is a wearable technology from Google. Since it runs Android and a browser, we experimented with running apps created with AppStudio on it. It works, but there are a number of observations to keep in mind.
- No keyboard means no input controls.
- jQuery Mobile controls work fine, but can be tricky to use.
- No offline apps -Google Glass is designed to be connected full time.
- No home screen, so no way to save to Home Screen.
- To open the sample above, say "OK, Glass. Google NS Basic Google Glass". This page will appear. Put two fingers on the Google Glass touchpad and use your head to move the cursor to the link about. Click to start.
- It's pretty quick. Using our benchmark, it clocked in at 300,000: a bit faster than an iPhone 4.
