Google glass update


If you're among those who dropped $1500 for a Google glass when Google open up Glass Explorer program for a single day on April 15th, then you'll be delighted to hear that Glass software upgraded to Android KitKat and brought some new features to give you faster updates.

In recent update, Google added features like Photo bundles, Photo replies to Hangouts and more, to Android-powered eyewear and soon after a few days they're back with new features: SMS for iPhone and Calendar Glassware.


SMS for iPhone:

iOS fans, by popular demand you can now get texts from your friends on Glass. Get started by going to your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings and turning on “Show Notifications” for your paired Glass. When you receive a new text message, it will appear as a notification on Glass. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to reply from Glass due to some limitations with iOS. (Android fans, don’t feel left out – you’ve got SMS on Glass already.)

Calendar Glassware:

On the Glassware tab in MyGlass, you’ll see a new Calendar Glassware. Turn it on to see your agenda to the left of the home screen. Tap a calendar card from your timeline and you can change the title, time, location, and RSVP as well as delete the event or dismiss it from your timeline.

Both updates will become available “later this week” so keep your eyes peeled.
