what's up guys david here from foam bluff and in this video i'm gonna giving you an in-depth look at google glass by giving you a walk-through of the UI throwing you the settings and also showing you how google glass actually works now obviously i won't be able to film this directly because it's on my face so instead I'll be doing a screencast which you can see on the monitor here so that way you guys can kind of follow along as I go through it but with that said the screencast is a little laggy so keep that in mind because Google glass actually isn't as laggy as it is here if I do encounter some lag I'll let you know in the video but otherwise let's go ahead and get started alright so as you guys can see I busted out the shades so the highway I don't look cross-eyed the entire video looking at this little screen but it's go ahead and get started by turning on Google glass so there's actually two ways to do this one is by touching the touch sensitive area right here so I'll go ahead and tap it and you guys can see the home screen you see a big old clock and a reminder of the voice command that unlocks all the other voice commands but there's also another way which I'll show you you actually could turn it off and then touch your head up like that and it comes on so I'll go ahead and say the voice command okay glass and you can see I'm giving it a list of options here so I can actually scroll through them by looking up and down or tilting my head up and down and I could say any one of them and it'll actually start it so I'll go ahead and say Google how tall is Kobe Bryant and there you go so I don't know you guys can't hear that but it's saying code Bryan is six feet six inches tall and little earpiece but it works pretty well so before I actually go more indefinitely I want to show you guys the actual options you guys have with Google glass so obviously what like we just did we have Google but you also could take a picture record a video get directions message somebody call somebody and finally do a video call via Google+ so in a nutshell that's pretty much what you could do on Google glass now I know you guys may think that's actually really limited and it kind of feels like that a person obviously you know it's in this very early stages and I'm sure it'll be expanded upon in the future but for right now this is pretty much what you could do in Google glass but haven't option two just Google something really doesn't limit you that much if you guys have used Google now you know that you could do a bunch of stuff with it so I'll go ahead and show you another way of actually googling something anyway so I'll turn it off and you could actually press and hold on the touch sensitive area and it takes you straight to a Google search so how old is Michael Jordan and it seems like I can only think of basketball questions here alright so Michael Jordan is 50 years old you can see the screen there and again I heard it in my ear but you guys might not be able to hear it I'm not sure anyways what's cool about this is actually it remembers your search so who is he married to and are actually search you know might that question based off of what I actually asked previously so renesis can't reach Google server so let's try that again okay glass Google how old is Michael Jordan alright so it worked this time I'll shut it again who is he married to there you go so you say Yvette cry out Oh or Prieto so anyway I hear it and that's actually in 2013 according to this thing so anyway I you see how it works it remembers your past search which is pretty cool but obviously there's a lot more we can do it make you cool just about anything and we'll go ahead and do a math problem just to show you guys what's eight hundred and sixty divided by four so hey I actually understood it as 160 and I don't know maybe I'm talking a little fast but for the most part I found it to be pretty accurate let's go ahead and try something else whoops 94 divided by seven there you go so you can see it works um like I said it's pretty accurate for the most part for my experience but you know sometimes you do have those occasional hiccup so let's go ahead and show you other stuff so I'll go ahead and show you how to take a picture basically you could either do it this way or you have a button right here they could actually press to take pictures that I find to be a little bit easier so go ahead and press that and basically it just took a picture of what I'm looking at which is just a camera we'll go ahead and I'm not gonna record a video since I already did a video sample on the channel which gets to checkout gave directions so Starbucks and basically it's gonna find the nearest Starbucks based off of my phone's GPS location so see Starbucks I can tap on it get directions to it I'm not gonna do that because I don't really need directions right now but we'll go ahead and hit this again and that the only reason I'm going through here not doing voice commands is because I want you guys to be able to see the menu options on the screen so get directions you can message somebody so I'm gonna go ahead and message somebody and my favorite contacts are actually gonna show up so I'll go ahead and message her what's up I'm recording a video right now so don't message me back and you see I have the option to swipe down to cancel and that way if I said something wrong or if it didn't understand me correctly I could cancel before it sends off you know a bad text message but there you go you see it sense we'll go ahead and go through the breasts just to kind of show you so we did messaging well you know what I'm not gonna show you a call I mean it works as a Bluetooth headset like a normal Bluetooth headset so you'll be able to hear them through here and they'll be able to hear you through the mic but it'll call I'm not gonna show you either but basically you see the person's video feed through glass and they see what you're seeing so if you have a mirror you might be able to do a video chat but anyways that's what you could do as far as glass goes so go ahead and show you we'll go ahead and look at the settings really quick so you can see here this is a Google now card and it's basically warning me about a wildfire which is around my area you can see here I have a card for weather and I don't know if you guys notice the at the top right there's a little peel or a little tab which basically means that there's more cards underneath it so if I press the side bar here I actually get out further you know a three-day forecast so it gives me more detail to back out of it just swipe down and it takes me one step back I can swipe over to the Settings you can see I have 62% battery and again we have that little peel at the top right so I could tap it and go further into the settings so I'm connected to my Wi-Fi my HTC One is connected I have my device info says I have 12.5 gigabytes free of space the head wake up position is set to 35 degrees so this is what I'll talk about when you can actually tilt your head up so actually I can actually turn this off which sometimes you give I can find it a little bit annoying when I'm driving for example and they're like a kind of a bumpy road and it kind of turns on when I don't want it to so I could turn it off or you can just kind of set the weight like angle to be a little bit higher so right now it's at 18 or 35 so I can make you go to like 40 40 s and max I'll go ahead and set that so that way it doesn't accidentally go on during this video so anyway that's how you do that head-on detection is a little bit different so basically what this is there's a little sensor inside of glass that detects whether or not you're wearing it so you can turn it off where I not have it on I'll go ahead and turn it off and basically what happens is with it off I could take it off and it's still gonna ruin on it doesn't realize that I took it off and I can put it on same exact thing but if I turn on the head detection I hit calibrate it's gonna ask me to take glass off and then put it back on and touch the touchpad so I'll go ahead and do that so I'll take it off I'll put it back on touchpad and this is Calgary so now what happens is you see there's a little chime that you hear and as soon as I put it back on the screens gonna turn right back on and you hit another little chime so that's actually really cool and I think it saves battery so I usually leave that on let's see you go back into here you have your volume so this is actually something that was brand new or just incorporated with the update I just got recently you could actually switch this despite swiping over just like that so that's a pretty nice little feature and then the last thing you have is guest mode this is if you want to share your glass with somebody else and they just kind of want to check it out and you don't want them kind of going through your text messages or anything like that you turn this guy on just by pressing turn on and now go ahead and demo some of the stuff here because they have more example cards and goodies that we could look at while we're exploring the rest of glass so I'll swipe over so you can see this person for example took our did a google search of what our jellyfish you could see a picture they took a text message they got and just stuff like that another Google search and you could kind of swipe through the history by doing that if you swipe quickly like this you get a zoomed out version of it so you can see here's a Google now card for example I have a it would say I have a flight at whatever time so this is 11 o'clock and it tells you the traffic there is so this is what it looked like once you really start using Google now the reason why why my Google now doesn't have a lot of stuff on there is because I just switched my phone so I think it's still like loading it I always search on my phones which is kind of the downside of this job but anyway we'll go ahead and actually want to show you up I'm gonna use the voice control real quick okay glass Google phone buff phone box I will try that again phone buff there you go so this time it actually understood me which is nice I think I'm not speaking clearly enough so anyway you can see you get regular search results whenever there is an actual Google now answer for you so it's going through some YouTube results um the website so I'll go ahead and actually show you that you could load up web sites on here so I'll go ahead and hit tap button and basically the only option you have here is to view the website go ahead and tap that and it's loading it up now Google Apps by no means is it quake is not like you're you know HTC ones you galaxy has fours with quad-core processors it's not that fast at all and I mean honestly it's not built for what browsing the web I think Google just recently added that because they wanted to give that feature or they wanted to have that ability I mean it doesn't hurt but you see it is taking a really long time to load and this is actually a mobile version which I find to be more optimized for Google apps because when I use full version of sites like I went to the verge comm one day with the full site this to try it out and it completely crashed I mean of course this is like I said early stage you know model of Google glass I'm sure a lot of the stuffs gonna be fixed when the consumer version comes out but this is how it is you can scroll down so you can see it is lagging one thing I'll point out though if you use two fingers and put it on the touchpad you could actually look around this is how you actually click on link so say I wanted to click on that link I let go whatever that wherever that little circle is I tap on it and it's gonna give me the option to select link so I did that really quick so select link and that's all the only option I have I get tap it and it'll take me to that article that it's at so we'll go ahead and swipe down because I don't feel like waiting that long one thing I do want to show you though really quick is we'll go through the app so you see this is my path search this the text message I said earlier in the video it's the picture I took and so say this is a search that I have and I don't want somebody to know that I searched this or if I just want to get out of my history I could just tap on it and I get it stro result or I could delete it so I'll go ahead and tap delete and you can see it takes it right off the history and you can do the same thing with email are texting a Julie them what the emails even gives you the option to archive it so oh here this is the Apple one to show so this I have a New York Times app enabled basically what apps are it really just it pushes out information to Google us so you can see have a card for New York Times says two new updates a tap on it and basically it gives me two cards that are you know basically just news obviously there's different apps that are available but not that many that's how it works so it's not an interactive applica for example Twitter I can't answer this going and scroll my feet like you would think it's more or less if somebody mentions me or you know talks about me on Twitter I'll get notified through glass that way so here's an email I could actually hit read more which will read it aloud to me reply to it or archive so go ahead archive and there you go but last thing I want to show you you know I want to keep this video as short as possible are you getting kind of long is in the settings it's like almost like a little hidden easter egg like android has when you tap on the device info you get a hidden easter egg with this the same thing you hit view licenses wait for it to load i want to show you this hidden easter egg so basically the same thing as the android just keep on tapping it and it makes an ascending chime and it says meet the team which i don't even know if you guys saw that but i tapped it really quick so basically what's loading up here is a photosphere of a whole bunch of google employees wearing glass so this is when i first saw this i was this really really amazed by it because it really just kind of shows you the potential I mean imagine some kind of virtual reality game and it works you know everywhere I'm looking it works exactly you know how you'd think it would I could look up I can look down I could turn all the way around to so you know you guys can see that I mean really really cool otherwise that is pretty much it for this video I mean I don't want to talk too much there is a review coming up on the website so stay tuned follow me on twitter at bomba and i'll let you guys know as soon as that comes out but anyways thats it for me in this video if you liked it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for more mobile technology videos
