Google Glass represents a new concept of a "wearable" digital device. It can respond to voice commands and gestures to display information such as notifications, images, and video in the user's field of vision. While conceived for brief, punctual use to complement smartphones, developers have created apps that expand Glass's capabilities for uses such as language translation, indoor navigation, and hands-free communication. Vidiemme Consulting develops custom projects and solutions utilizing Glass's abilities for applications like assisting museum visitors and the disabled, aiding medical professionals, and enhancing sports and journalism.

From origin planet ….
• Google Glass is the Project Glass’s result, an ambitious research
project launched by Big G years ago and carried on in the Mountain
View’s X Lab from the team of "moonshot thinking”.
• The first prototypes were shown during the Google I / O in June 2012
with a spectacular launch from the parachute displayed in a live
streaming (video) and surprisingly released only to the attendees.
• Since the spring of 2013 the prototypes were distributed (at a price
of $ 1,500) to the Explorer* with U.S. citizenship and winners of a
contest that rewarded the best ideas of use for the device.
* Among with Vidiemme’s American Partner, Rokivo

• By launching of the Explorer program, Google has ensured - in addition
to a major media response - the support of a large community of
developers dedicated to the research and development of Glass and new
ways to use it.
• In November 2013 Google released an updated version of Glass,
improved in software, and the long-awaited GDK (Glass Development
Kit) that allows full access to the possibilities for the development of
Apps, integrating the initials Mirror API.
• And in 2014? It’s expected to land on Earth, starting in the USA .... with a
price yet to be determined

• The prism is able to project a floating semi-transparent screen at the top right, equivalent to a 25 inches size at
the distance of 2.5 meters
• Information are displayed into sliding "cards” organized in a “timeline”; every performed operation or received
notification is saved in a card
With the software updates of April 2014,
thanks to the "bundle“ functionality it‘s
now possible to display on a single card
all the contents produced in a day.
10. 10
pairing
• In order to use all the features, Google Glass needs a network connection
• Not having a GPS antenna, you must make a pairing via Bluetooth with an Android
• smartphone or, more recently, even with an iPhone
• In the presence of a WiFi network the Glass, after being configured by your smartphone,
can maintain autonomously the connection
MyGlass is the
App for
smartphones that
allows you to
manage, configure

Google Glass: basic functionalities
From the initial clock screen you can give commands with a tap/swipe or vocally with “ok glass” and ….
12. 12
ok glass, google …
You can search on Google simply speaking the words to search (in American English). Glass will do the rest, get the info
and read the results loud
13. 13
ok glass, take a picture
You can take pictures with a few steps and immediately sharing them on social networks and email. All pictures are
stored on the Glass and automatically synchronized with your G+ profile
14. 14
ok glass, record a video
As for the pictures, videos follow the same rules of storage and sharing. Videos have a defined length of 10 seconds
unless extended with the command “Extend video”
15. 15
ok glass, get directions to …
After speaking loud the destination, Glass calculates the itinerary and starts the navigator. Thanks to the integrated
compass the navigation is contextual to the user head orientation
16. 16
ok glass, send a message to …
It is possible to send messages to the contacts simply speaking out their name; the text will be sent as e-mail and replies
notified as incoming e-mail
17. 17
ok glass, make a call to …
When Glass are “paired” with a smartphone, you can make a call speaking loud the name of the person as saved in the
contacts list
18. 18
ok glass, hangout with …
The hangout feature has
been removed from
Google with the
software update in April
2014 (release x16).
Officially the reason sits
in the limited use of this
functionality and in the
poor quality.
19. 19
The release of the GDK (Glass Development Kit)
in November 2013
opened up endless possibilities
to develop new App able to take advantage
of all the “sense" of the device
20. 20
Example: translate with WordLens
The feature "Translate" is based on the popular
App WordLens that is able to recognize and
translate a text in a selected language. The
translated text is superimposed to the original
after a few moments
21. 21
Wink for picture
You can shoot images by simply turning the corresponding mode on and winking your eye to
snap photos.
22. 22
make “vignette”
Vignettes superimpose a
screenshot of your Glass

25. two options to develop on Glass
Mirror API GDK
November 2013March 2013
The Google Mirror API allows you to build web-
based services, called Glassware, that interact
with Google Glass, but do not run on it.

the Android SDK that lets you build Glassware that
runs directly on Glass.

27. designing for Glass
Glass has its own rules and guideline for design : Keep it simple,
relevant and current!
Source: https://developers.google.com/glass/design/principles
UI elements allow 3 pattern
types:
• Static card – Displays text,
HTML, images, and video.
Static cards can invoke live
cards or immersions
• Live card – Show content
that is important at the
current time and constantly
update to keep information
fresh and relevant
• Immersion - Customized UI
experiences that take over
a user's focus and display
outside of the timeline
•Think for Glass and not simply readjust
•Add and do not remove to the actual experience
•Avoid the unexpected and the "too much"
•Build for people and make the interaction conversational
•Making information easily readable (eg Pagination)
29. • Indoor positioning systems can be
integrated with Google Glass
• The objective is to bring the power of GPS
and maps indoor
• You can tie digital information to physical
places
• For example: Instead of punching a 3 digit
number into a handheld tour guide, you
could walk up to a painting and find
additional info on your device, right there
waiting for you
• There are 2 major technologies that can
be used: Wi-fi Fingerprinting and
Bluetooth 4.0
• No single technology is ubiquitous
• There are trade-offs to each of the
technologies. WiFi is low cost and
ubiquitous, but not very accurate*; high
precision location usually requires
higher cost and infrastructure work
*High accuracy is considered to be 1 to 5 meters,
medium accuracy is 6 to 10 meters, and low
accuracy is over 11 meters
indoor positioning systems
30. • The localization technique is based on measuring the
intensity of the received WiFi signal and generating a
“fingerprint” for every different position
• Glass compares its current WiFi fingerprint to
Fingerprint/Location database in order to find its position
• The accuracy depends on the number of positions that have
been previously entered into the database
Accuracy
• medium
Availability
• ubiquitous
Glass issue
• WiFi signal sampling
frequency is much slower
than usual in order to
safeguard battery life
• localization takes longer
than with a smartphone
Wi-fi fingerprinting
31. • The use of Bluetooth technology for positioning systems is
