Google Glass !

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi Friends,

we all like to jump on the next big Train. 
For now its Mobile and we develop for iOS, Android and maybe Windows, etc.

But A really NEW Market will be Google Glasses and I have the feeling it will 

a kick like iPhone was once. (if it comes for a good price)
But I think there will be LOTS who just like to be part of that new Experience

and here i think We and Corona should jump on .

We would be one of the First who would bring Apps in that Market and could

all benefit from, before its like now on iOS and Android where to compete with

hundret thousands of apps.

So if you would also wish that Corona would help us to develop for Google Glass

give a +1

I think it should be not a big deal for Corona, as Google Glass is based already

on Android, I guess its most about a Emulator Window that give us the right Screensize

and we could have a go.

All the best

Chris

Did you see this past Saturday’s Saturday Night Live?  They were poking fun at Google Glasses during the new segment Weekend Update.

Isn’t Google Glass development all based on REST calls to the Mirror API? If so I can’t seen any massive need for Corona to work on integration, it seems to be a simple enough setup - if you really believe Google Glass is actually going to succeed(but that’s another matter).

BTW I could be completely wrong, only had a cursory glance at the API reference guide.

I’ve got Glass and a couple weeks ago I was able to build apks that ran fine on Glass. Today, even sample files that used to work just fine (specifically, I was modifying Gyroscope), no longer work on Glass. I don’t think Glass has been updated since then, and the sample code is the same. Did something happen on the build side? In other words, something I can compensate for? Thanks. I know you don’t officially support Glass yet, but Corona seems like an potentially ideal development platform for creating Glass apps (basically for the same reasons it’s so good for what it’s already so good for). 

Or should I move on to some other development platform?

Thank you!

There are two levels of programming, the Mirror API (call REST to push HTML5 “cards”) and plain’ol android (4.0.4, I think, no SDK yet). I write a bit about them here…

http://www.himssfuturecare.com/blog/google-glass-and-future-healthcare 

I just randomly selected about a dozen Corona samples (ones that don’t have buttons, tabs, etc) and pushed them over to Glass via adb. 

3-4 worked, rest just a blank screen. The one I was really excited about was Gyroscope and I planned to see if I could extend it to recognize head gestures, such as nodding up and down for YES and sideways for NO. That was a couple weeks ago. Today, when I returned to this, I get the blank screen for every sample I try except Helloworld. 

I don’t know what changed. Something on the build server? Something in my local development environment. Or something in Glass (it updates every 3-4 weeks or so, but I don’t think since I got Gyroscope to work (before it stopped working)). 

Obviously I’m in undocumented, unsupported territory, but it would be so cool to create Glass apps with Corona!

Cheers
