The document discusses various methods for engaging consumers in the product development process, including design by community initiatives, idea platforms, pilot programs, and research projects. It describes a Design by Community project where Nokia collected ideas from readers to define a concept mobile device. It also outlines Symbian Ideas and Nokia Pilots programs that allow the public to submit and vote on new ideas and participate in product testing. Finally, it discusses a research project in Nairobi that studied ad-hoc content sharing between devices at concerts.

Wearable technology is on the verge of putting our phones away and putting information there when we want it and out of the way when we don't.
The Nokia X is Nokia's first Android device, running a customized version of Android 4.1 without Google services. It has modest specs including a 4-inch 480x800 screen, 1GHz dual-core processor, 3MP rear camera but no front camera, and provides up to one day of battery life. While it lacks full Android capabilities and multitasking, the Nokia X offers Nokia services like Maps and MixRadio, sturdy build quality and customizability through sideloading apps. However, its low-end specs and camera mean it is best suited for basic smartphone use rather than power users.
Project Glass is Google's augmented reality glasses project. The document outlines Project Glass' prehistory under a new CEO during Google's growth, its current options like pictures, video, and navigation, and its prospects including potential, availability, competitiveness, a nice interface, free applications, and multifunctionality.
Google Glass is an augmented reality smart glasses product developed by Google. It features a prism-based optical head-mounted display controlled by voice commands or touch. The document outlines Google Glass' hardware capabilities, interaction methods, timeline interface for developers, exemplary apps, future plans including a dedicated app store, and competing wearable devices like the rumored Apple iWatch.
This document provides an overview of Google Glass and augmented reality. It discusses how Google Glass uses augmented reality to overlay images and information directly in the user's field of vision. Examples are given of how sports broadcasts and smartphones already use augmented reality. The technical specifications, features, advantages, and disadvantages of Google Glass are outlined. It is a compact wearable device powered by Android that allows hands-free access to notifications, photos, and more through voice commands and a touchpad. However, concerns around privacy, distraction, and health effects remain challenges.
This document presents a summary of Google Glass. It was presented by Nidhin P Koshy for the ECE department at TKMIT. Google Glass is a wearable computer with an augmented reality display developed by Google. It features a camera, display, touchpad, battery and microphone built into a spectacle frame. The display uses a prism to project 640x360 resolution graphics equivalent to a 25 inch screen from 8 feet away. Voice commands through the microphone allow users to take pictures, get directions, send messages and more just by speaking. While innovative, some disadvantages are potential privacy issues from photos taken without permission and distraction from the visual display blocking the user's line of sight.

Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display developed by Google that functions as an augmented reality device. It has the ability to take photos and record 720p HD video, is operated through voice commands or a touchpad, runs Android, and has features like translation, maps, messaging, and live video sharing. While portable and potentially useful for hands-free tasks, recommendations for improvements include more storage, a lower price point, and additional features.
Experience with Google Glass and Business ApplicationsMarkus Van Kempen
The document discusses Google Glass, including its capabilities, use cases, and how to develop applications for it. Google Glass is described as a smartphone displayed on your head. It has a camera, touchpad, battery, and runs Android. Common uses include getting directions, taking photos/videos, translating languages, and accessing information. Developing for Glass involves using the Mirror API and creating timeline cards and Glassware. Authentication, programming languages, and the Glass Development Kit are also covered.
This presentation is about the google glass, its development and other related stuff.

Part 2: In this session will dive into the Glass Developer Kit (GDK) and will practice developing for glass. The GDK is an add-on to the Android SDK that lets you build Glassware that runs directly on Glass. The session will cover how to start developing for Glass, overview about the GDK and a live demo on some GDK features.
Preparing your app for the next billion internet users - Assaf Gelber, FacebookDroidConTLV
The document discusses preparing mobile apps for users in developing markets who have older devices and slower network connections. It recommends measuring app size, storage usage, performance, and network usage. Specific tips include using ProGuard and other tools to minimize app size, lazy loading images only when needed, scaling images appropriately for networks, and considering custom protocols and serialization formats to reduce data usage. Case studies of Facebook Lite are provided as an example of optimizing for these users through techniques like minimal app resources, downloading only necessary data from a proxy server, and diligent measurement of performance and network usage.

above your eyes and makes exploring and sharing the world
around you faster and easier.
Glass aims to put you in control of technology by giving you
everything you love about your smartphone in a tiny hands-free
device that's on when you need it and off when you don’t."
