We’ve written before about Google Glass: it’s the anticipated game-changer in wearable technology, with voice, movement, and touch commands, currently in beta production. The revolutionary heads-up display will change the way that people interact with the world around them and launch a new age of computer-human interface… according to Google. We’ll have to wait and see about that.
However, every day new information comes out about the Glass technology that makes it more impressive, increasing its capability to integrate into the lives of its users. For instance, up until recently the voice commands had to start with “Okay Glass”, as in “okay glass, show me my schedule,” or other things to that effect. The newest information from Android Police shows that there is a much longer list of potential commands, including specific voice commands such as “find a recipe,” “tune an instrument,” or “translate this.”
These new commands can work with specific apps, such as “take a note” with Evernote, or “play a game”, which might be used in the future to integrate with game apps. All together, there are 19 new voice command capabilities, including “create a 3D model”, “start a round of gold”, and “check me in.” In addition, there are new eye commands, including a “double blink” command, which adds to the ability of being able to take a photo by winking.
What Sparks Our Fire: This cutting edge of computer interface may revolutionize the way we interact with our devices for years to come.
