Google glasses, a next generation Android-powered computer eye gadget that is going to hit the market within no time. This hi-tech and wearable eye gadget works either with the help of a mobile or Wi-Fi connectivity. The GPS chip embedded in this device provides easy navigation to Google maps. People can perform various activities such as capturing pictures, recording videos easily and quickly by giving voice commands. People interact with this device in various ways such as through a microphone, optical display, touch pad and a bone conduction transducer. The individual can get any information at faster pace by giving commands in microphone.

Design the apps exclusively for the glass:

Now-a-days many devices are available in the market which allows users to store and use the information whenever required for various purposes. Google Glasses are the forthcoming device which provides the relevant, latest and simple information for the users. The developers should not transfer the features designed for glasses to Laptops and Smartphone’s. The apps should support only for glasses.
Apps should not interfere the way Apps are used whenever the users require it and should be out of the way in unnecessary cases. Do not display unnecessary and unexpected information

Google glasses stay very near the eye so; unexpected functionality may annoy the users at times. It is recommended to avoid sending unnecessary information in regular intervals. For instance, sending notification for the user at the time he/she is really not interested to view creates a bad experience for the users. Whenever you are delivering information see the location, time and frequency. So, Google glass web development team should keep all these points in mind to engage and give appealing user experience.

Keep appropriate glass functionality

Apps should deliver right information to the right time and location for the users. For example, display the list of items in the departmental stores on the glasses when the user enters the store. This information engages the users and gives good experience for them. Since, they needn’t require searching the entire store to see the items that are there. This type of apps gives great satisfaction for the users.
Importance of Glassware Google Glassware is the web services which allow sending and receiving the content to and fro from the glasses. This Glassware is created using either of two programming languages such as Java or Python. This Google glass is making use of different set of API’s to develop a dynamic application. Google has provided a solution for the developer to create apps especially for Google glasses in the form of glassware. This empowers the developers to create cloud based applications. Users need not require downloading and configuring the apps on this device instead they can get the required information directly onto the device but in a limited way.
