As of now, the future and utility quotient of glass seems apprehensive for an android developer

Google has rolled out its Google glass for developers. Can it become the next disruptive innovation? Read more.
 
HICKSVILLE, N.Y. - April 22, 2013 - PRLog -- After a huge flux of online discussion and blogs already done, the Google glass is finally out for developers to get their hands on. Riding high upon the idea of wearable computing devices, Google’s glass raises hopes on many areas of providing information pertaining to humans. However despite being a potential disruptive device, the fact of glass being an input-output device (as of now) does raise some apprehension on behalf of android app development experts. The interruptive functioning of the device needs a mention too.

Web based apps and cloud control
“We were expecting to see the possibilities of full blown augmented reality applications on glass but it cannot be possible as of now.” Says Jayneel of Openxcell Technolabs; a renowned android app development company. Augmented reality apps are complicated and needs a lot of processing power. But unlike a Smartphone, Glass’s will fetch its data processed from a cloud server that will monitor the user activity and function accordingly. This streamlines the scope of android developers of creating native apps for Google glass at this moment. Android app development experts will have to stick to web based applications and would have to adhere to the strict development guidelines released by Google. “I believe it’s just an initial run to test the user behavior on apps and the overall performance. This might change later on allowing android developers to create more complex apps” adds Jayneel.

High attention but clubbed with interruption
Wearable computers that are commanded with the blink of an eye is really a fascinating idea and people do move towards the next big thing if it is properly made and pleasingly packaged. Steve jobs made us believe that a couple of times. And Google aims to do that with this piece of disruptive innovation. However, the glass project has been criticized from its inception as being highly interruptive in its way of operation. With a Smartphone, one can choose to ignore the notifications and alerts. We can carry a Smartphone when we walk in the streets or keep it beside our bed when lay down after a tiring day. In other words, the phone stays with you every time without an option for the user to ignore it. But that’s not going to be the same way in glass. Users will have to keep this thing on and can be bombarded by information. Infact it’s nonsensical to put these on when we go to bed before we fall asleep. Android developers also understand the interruptive nature of the device.

The glass with a futuristic intuitive computing device may appear fascinating to the board of directors at Google which scores a 100% when user engagement is concerned. However, a normal user can find the constant prompts and alerts as invading and might not consider the device as useful.
