Features

Google Glass can be controlled using the touchpad built into the side of the device

 Touchpad: A touchpad is located on the side of Google Glass, allowing users to control the device by swiping
through a timeline-like interface displayed on the screen. Sliding backward shows current events, such as
weather, and sliding forward shows past events, such as phone calls, photos, circle updates, etc.
 Camera: Google Glass has the ability to take 5 MP photos and record 720p HD video.

 Display: The Explorer version of Google Glass uses a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS)(based on an LCoS chip
from Himax), field-sequential color system, LED illuminated display.[34] The display's LED illumination is first P-
polarized and then shines through the in-coupling polarizing beam splitter (PBS) to the LCoS panel.

Applications

 Google Glass applications are free applications built by third-party developers.


 Glass also uses many existing Google applications, such as Google Now, Google Maps, Google+,
and Gmail.
 Many developers and companies have built applications for Glass, including news apps, facial recognition,
exercise, photo manipulation, translation, and sharing to social networks, such
as Facebook and Twitter. Third-party applications announced at South by Southwest (SXSW)
include Evernote, Skitch, The New York Times, and Path.
On March 23, 2013, Google released the Mirror API, allowing developers to start making apps for Glass.In the terms
of service, it was stated that developers may not put ads in their apps or charge fees;[44] a Google representative told
The Verge that this might change in the future.
