If you think you’re going to make the world your oyster with Google Glass without raising your hands up to circle your favorite objects, you’re in for a real change of heart. What we’re seeing today is a patent application made by Google to keep the idea of “hearting” things to themselves. What you’d do […]
Wearable computing is an unstoppable, addictive force that could well step in to address neurodegenerative illnesses where medicine cannot, Google X’s Mary Lou Jepsen says, though the display division chief refuses to be drawn on what her team is working on inside the clandestine lab. “It’s coming. I don’t think it’s stoppable” Jepsen said of […]
Google has used some of the most advanced computing technology, quantum chips in the D-Wave computer it has bought with NASA, to address one of the most basic issues in its Glass wearable: figuring out if users are blinking on purpose or involuntarily. The perhaps humdrum implementation, revealed for the first time this week in […]
Google has updated its Glass wearable with public transit directions, with firmware XE10 turning the headset into a city navigator, though the much-anticipated local app support is still missing.

Grand Theft Auto and Glass may be more commonly about the broken variety than Google’s wearable, but that hasn’t stopped one developer from cooking up some head-up map integration between the game and the headset. Mike DiGiovanni‘s realtime GPS for Grand Theft Auto 3 on Glass may only work with the third installment of the […]
Google has thrown open Glass to third-party applications, though the wearable still does not support native code from other developers. The newly opened Glassware Review Process is now accepting submissions from any coder, with the promise of more Mirror API quota – the controlled pipe through which cloud-based Glass apps communicate with the headset itself […]
Google is taking Glass on tour, offering curious would-be wearables users the opportunity to try out the coveted headset as well as talk it over with the development team.
