Timeline
• The Glass user interface is a virtual timeline that is comprised of 640 × 360 pixel cards.
• Users scroll through the timeline to reveal cards in the past, present, and future.
• The most recent items reside in the center of the timeline, closest to the user experience.
Home
The default Home card is the Glass clock and it resides in the center of the timeline.Appears whenever users wake Glass up
Provides voice and touch commands to start other Glasswares

• Scrolling To the right of the Glass clock brings the history section.
• Cards naturally decay in the past section.
• Past displays static cards ranging from text, HTML, photos, and videos.
