Winky Google Glass APP - hacked into Google glass and enabled winking control
- artemio 13y agoso google glass runs on modified android :D
- hkmurakami 13y agoyes, apparently with a much truncated api set.
- infoman 13y agoThe Hacker/Developer says: "It's a very different experience taking a picture of someone with Glass vs a phone or even a plain old camera. Looking directly at a person instead of through a viewfinder has a huge psychological difference."
- hoi 13y agoIf google glass becomes popular, I'll expect to hear this phrase more - "Please take your glasses off before we proceed.."
- hkmurakami 13y agoWell before long we will have integrated prescription glasses + Google Glass. So maybe it'll just be, "please turn off your glasses" :)
- infoman 13y agoGoogle or someone on kickstarter should make a clip for google glass, so we can put it on and off in a matter of seconds. Don't want to carry a second prescription glass around
- _djo_ 13y agoGoogle has said they're working on Glass hardware that'll clip onto regular prescription glasses.
- eknkc 13y agoWaiting for the first guy to create a "Glass jammer" that kills nearby Glasses. (Guess it would not be practically possible)
- derefr 13y agoIt would be possible consentually--Google could design in a protocol whereby, say, getting in range of a certain recognized Bluetooth class turns off recording features until you leave.
- bergie 13y agoApple has a patent on disabling cameras in a given location: http://www.zdnet.com/apple-patent-could-remotely-disable-protesters-phone-cameras-7000003640/ http://www.zdnet.com/apple-patent-could-remotely-disable-pro...
- randallsquared 13y ago...and then we'd have a real reason to root. ;)
- The_Sponge 13y agoI wasn't aware that they were tracking eye movement (of any sort). This is incredibly cool, although the privacy implications could be disturbing. A quick google search didn't reveal a list of all of the on-board sensors. If anyone knows where I can I find it, linking would be greatly appreciated.
- hkmurakami 13y agoiirc the there was a story last week showing the unused but present wink apis.
- infoman 13y agoyes people were wondering if it was only code for the future hardware variants on google glass but Mike did it https://plus.google.com/116031914637788986927/posts/MsVDT735PGf https://plus.google.com/116031914637788986927/posts/MsVDT735...
- ivanca 13y agoMaybe in the near future it will be able track the rounding of the lens (ciliary muscles) so you can have a responsive interface (e.g. hide interface when the user is not focusing its eyes on G-glass)
- kanzure 13y agoWasn't obvious, but here's where the actual goodies are: https://github.com/kaze0/winky https://github.com/kaze0/winky
- piyush_soni 13y agoThis is awesome. I wonder why this is not the default (inbuilt) way of taking pictures. Before they made it more obvious, I was actually thinking this would be the way to click pictures in a glass.
- sdfjkl 13y agoBecause randomly winking at people might give them the wrong idea.
- NegativeK 13y agoIf I saw someone winking in my direction like the author did in the video, I'd assume they have something in their eye.
- panacea 13y agoIt's certainly going to be creepy if someone who you're not comfortable sociably with approaches you wearing gGlasses and winks at you. That would still be creepy without the gGlasses though. It's also going to be creepy if someone who you currently are comfortable sociably with approaches you wearing gGlasses. "Mate... take them off please" All roads lead to creepsville in normal social situations, unless the person is using them to augment something like adventure sports, visiting an exhibition or the like (which is why Google chose to lead with those marketing videos and demos obviously) I wear different shit when I go hiking or skiing. I don't do my daily commute wearing ski goggles. The barrier to surmount for this to become acceptable rather than creepy-couture or ubiquitous in normal daily activities is possibly insurmountable for the foreseeable future (admittedly that's my wishful thinking, and I say this as someone who doesn't live in the Silicon Valley area).
- randallsquared 13y agoIf this is to replace taking your phone out of your pocket or bag (as Brin suggests it has for him in a TED talk), it'll be used everywhere. Personally, I can't wait. :)

- netcan 13y agoAny alternatives to the voice interface could be welcome. Maybe nose wiggling al la bewitched.
- pmb 13y agoSousveillance here we come! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
- kevincoughlin 13y agoThis is a really cool hack. It's exciting for me to see the amount of activity surrounding Glass. I wonder what the sensitivity is to recognize a gesture as a wink rather than a blink... I guess a dive into the source might answer that.
