One thing I’ve noticed in the various pieces about Glass is the difficulty that many writers have expressing what the software — or as Google calls it, “Glassware” — is actually like to use.
Take, for instance, Honan’s description of some of the more exciting third-party apps that have come to Glass so far:
The Strava cycling app, for example, really shows off the promise of Glass by combining location tracking with updates that let you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the handlebars. So too does AllTheCooks, which lets you create and follow recipes without taking your eyes and hands away from sharp knives and hot ovens.
While that does a great job of getting me excited for the possibilities of what Glass can do, it doesn’t really tell you what the experience will look like.
Since I didn’t get an offer from Google to join its $US1,500 “Explorer” program, I haven’t had a chance to use the device in person. So to get an actual idea of what apps will be like when I finally get my hands on one, I went straight to the source: Google’s documentation for developers looking to make apps for the platform. // Business Insider
