Designing and Developing for Google Glass
Thinking Differently for a New Platform
Book Description:
Creating apps for Google Glass is more involved than simply
learning how to navigate its hardware, APIs, and SDK. You also need the
right mindset. While this practical book delivers the information and
techniques you need to build and deploy Glass applications, it also
helps you to think for Glass by showing you how the platform works in,
and affects, its environment.
In three parts—Discover, Design, and Develop—Glass pioneers guide you
through the Glass ecosystem and demonstrate what this wearable computer
means for users, developers, and society as a whole. You’ll learn how
to create rich functionality for a consumer technology that’s radically
different than anything currently available.
