Live cards

Menus

Technical learnings

▪ Cloud apps/Static cards ▪ work via REST API (Mirror API) interface (all languages possible) ▪ have no access to sensors except location ▪ Subscription model also in engineering: example menus

!

▪ Native apps ▪ are in essence Android apps (APKs, Java) ▪ SDK (GDK) released in November

The principle

Design for GlassDon’t get in the wayKeep it relevantAvoid the unexpectedBuild for people

3 clients, 3 design cases

Enhance an existing service with contextual smartness !

!

Connect the data from the cloud to the moment to create a new value from their knowledge. !

!

With EYE we enhance the physical space.

Greenwheels service: sesame openOpen and close with Glass

Step 1: connect accounts

Step 2: make a reservation

Step 3 & 4: get a reminder and navigate to car

15 min before reservation

step 5: standing next to the car: open via voice

Connected the mirror API to Greenwheels back-endKeep the flow simple and focused Think timely and context-full

bol.com and the power of the dataenhance the real world

EYE; a new way of storytellingopen up the museum

Principle: find the stories in the space

Glass inspires new ways of interacting, using head gestures and in real presenceStorytelling is a powerful guideline

Overall learnings

▪ There are no apps, you create relations with apps. See it as subcriptions ▪ You always start with the journey of the Glass-user to look for moments of

nearby interactions with the service ▪ Limit the interactions, make no long trees ▪ More than ever: don’t make me think! ▪ Use existing knowledge from data and profiles ▪ Context rules: obey the moment ▪ Make it fun to use by creating magic

So: Meaning of Glass Signpost for context driven wearable tech

Glass forces to think in context and timely and usage-driven interactions.

Google has the power to shape this relevancy driven world, as they did with search.

Other wearables will walk the same road. So use these findings to model your product/service & marketing.
