8. { Glassware,  GDK  (Android),  Hybrid Development   Options
9. { Card  delivery  system Mirror
10. •  Platform  independent  REST  API,  OAuth  2.0 •  Developed  for  existing  web  application  to  add   Glass  functionality •  Utilizes  GCM  for  sending  to  individual  Glass •  Must  host  a  publicly  accessible  URL  for  Mirror   to  call  to  for  notification  of  data. Mirror  API
11. •  HTML5  and  CSS •  JSON  API •  Requires  Pagination  for  long  content •  Can  program  cords  to  capture  last  know   location •  Render  Maps,  Video Mirror  API
12. Hybrid  Glassware
13. •  Mirror  API  can  launch  GDK  Glassware  via   intents •  Possible  tight  integration  for  web  properties  to   message  a  user,  inserting  a  card  into  the   Timeline  using  Mirror  to  then  launch  GDK •  Why?  Doesn’t  appear  possible  to  utilize  GCM   on  Glass  via  just  GDK Hybrid  Glassware
14. •  Sneak  Peak •  Download  from  Android  SDK  manager •  Based  on  4.0.3  (API  level  15) Ñ  Allows  access  to  underlying  hardware,   including  voice  and  main  menu  integration Ñ  Has  it’s  own  “Glass”  theme,  full  screen,  Roboto   font. GDK
15. { Android  on  Glass GDK:  Glass   Development  Kit

17. •  Periodic  notifications •  Sharing •  On-­‐‑going  tasks •  Immersive Pa9erns
18. Ñ  Enable  debugging Ñ  Install  Android  SDK  &  tools Ñ  adb shell pm install -r "/data/ local/tmp/ com.colabug.tennant.viewer” Ñ  adb start am start -n "com.colabug.tennant.viewer/ com.colabug.tennant.viewer.TennantV iewerActivity" Building  &  Running
19. { “ok  glass  show  the  doctor” GDK  App  Demo h9ps://github.com/colabug/TennantCardViewer
20. •  h9ps://developers.google.com/glass/ •  h9ps://plus.google.com/+TimothyJordan •  h9ps://github.com/googleglass/ •  GDK  makes  use  of  all  4.0.x  relevant  docs •  Example  projects  available  on  github Resources
