Google Sensors Are Data Mining I/O Attendees - And They Don't Care
readwrite.com
on 05/17/2013
Excerpt: If you're visiting the Google I/O developers conference this week, you're a tiny part of a giant Google experiment to sniff out everything from your body heat to your breath. Google is even listening to your footfalls as part of its Data Sensing Lab I/O 2013. Think that's a scary, Big-Brother invasion of privacy? The conference attendees I talked to didn't seem to mind. In fact, one wanted Google to collect even more data. Google planted 525 powered sensors around the halls of San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center, and began collecting data from them on Wednesday, according to Michael Manoochehri, a developer programs engineer at Google.... read the full post.

Pebble releases updated Pebblekit SDK & Sports API with full support for iOS & Android apps | 9to5Mac
9to5mac.com
on 05/16/2013
Excerpt: Pebble, the popular bluetooth smartwatch that raised over $10M on Kickstarter before shipping to backers in January, today announced the release of an updated SDK and APIs that will allow iOS and Android developers to create apps for the platform. Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky had this to say about the updates:
“The tremendous response we received from Kickstarter backers validated our belief in the value of a smart watch as a wearable computer, but also in the value an open platform brings to truly personalizing the watch to their daily activities”, said Eric Migicovsky, Pebble’s founder. “This new investment will help us build out the Pebble development ecosystem and deliver on Pebble’s extraordinary potential.... read the full post.

Google Glass will soon be invisible – and the new normal
feedproxy.google.com
on 05/12/2013
Excerpt: Summary: Plenty of haters have taken Google Glass to the woodshed, but they’re missing the bigger picture: Google solved the big technical problems, and even made wearable tech look cool. Glass’s transition to the mainstream is a when not an if. “There are three sides to every story: Your side, my side, and the truth. And no one is lying. ” – Robert Evans (“The Kid Stays in the Picture”)
I recently met up with my friend and one-time business partner, Steve Lee, who is product director on the Google Glass project, and before that, ran product management on Google Maps for Mobile. Other than a quick tour of the device, Steve basically let me dive in, so as to experience Glass with a beginner’s mind.... read the full post.

Using Google Glass, Twilio, Ruby, and Sinatra to Send and Receive SMS Messages
www.twilio.com
on 05/09/2013
Excerpt: Myself and other developers have been giddy with glee at the recent release of Google Glass, one of the first largely available wearable computing platforms. After the Glass Foundry hackathons in January, I couldn’t wait to start building awesome applications such as GlassTweet with the Mirror API and helping others do the same. Today, I’d like to debut the first tutorial on building Twilio applications for Google Glass, where you will learn how to receive SMS messages via a Twilio phone number on your Google glass and how to respond to them using the Glass voice commands. Glass can send and receive SMS by default via the MyGlass Android app.... read the full post.

Daily Report: The Google Glass Resistance
bits.blogs.nytimes.com
on 05/07/2013
Excerpt: The glasseslike device allows Internet access, as well as the shooting of photos and video, raising concerns about privacy and distraction. A Seattle bar has pre-emptively banned it. Las Vegas casinos are making it clear that wearers will not be welcome. Google stresses that Glass is a work in progress, with test versions being released to 2,000 developers. Safeguards are being put it place to make it less intrusive: for example, you have to speak or touch it to activate it, and you have to look directly at someone to shoot a photo or video of them. “We are thinking very carefully about how we design Glass because new technology always raises new issues,” said Courtney Hohne, a Google spokeswoman.... read the full post.

Google Glass update adds Google+ notifications, saves on resources by limiting background downloads
feedproxy.google.com
on 05/07/2013
Excerpt: Google Glass has not been released to mainstream consumers yet but already the device has gotten an update, after Google pushed an over-the-air software patch that enhances the Google+ experience and makes better use of resources. The most notable changes that users will see after installing the XE5 update is the introduction of incoming Google+ notifications — including direct shares, comments and mentions — and the ability to comment and +1 other users’ posts. Incoming notification for Google+ Hangouts has also be added. The update will also restrict background uploads, which will now only be triggered when the unit is plugged in to power and using WiFi, so as to conserve power and resources for the wearable device.... read the full post.

Excerpt: Summary: Owners of the Pebble ePaper watch have a new app available for their wrist today. The promised integration with RunKeeper is here, showing pace, distance and more on the wrist. Popular exercise tracking app RunKeeper made its Pebble smart watch debut on Tuesday, becoming one of the first third-party apps to arrive on the wearable device. The app works in conjunction with an iPhone or Android device that’s wirelessly connected to the Pebble. Instead of looking at the phone when running, Pebble owners can glance at their wrist for data such as pace and mileage. The Pebble watch is somewhat unique for two reasons.... read the full post.
