The
Google folks have announced a Google Glass update officially called XE11
and has added a few much requested new features, and improved some other key
areas.

Google Glass XE11 has some great new commands. They are calling this “Great
Lifehack” command, which simply means it is designed to make life easier
for you. Most of the new commands have to do with calendars and directions.
Here are some examples for it:
- “OK Glass, Google.” Then “My Agenda” brings up the most recent items in your schedule.
- “OK Glass, Google.” Then “What am I doing in November” brings up items specifically scheduled for November.
- “OK Glass, get directions to work” or “OK, Glass, get directions home” will quickly help you navigate to those important destinations.
Google
has integrated personal calendar search which should make users lives
much easier. Personalized calendar results will show you what’s on your
calendar for the day or week, and even gives you daily agenda.
Google
has improved how Maps work with Glass, letting users get directions to
Home or Work as long as the user has specified those addresses. The next time
you want to get home, just speak the normal “Directions” command and then say
“Home”.
XE11
includes a usability tweak as well. Now a long press on the touchpad will no
longer activate Google Search. There is also a “Start Screencast”
shortcut in the notification draw that makes it easier to display what’s on Glass
on a connected Smartphone
The
message screen “OK Glass” is the most common one you see, since it activates
whenever you tap the side or tilt your head up. The screen lets you know Glass
is on and actively listens to your voice.
Google
is still not endorsing the resale of its specs, but it has removed the clause
in its terms which formerly gave it the right to deactivate Glass if it was
sold second hand.
Google
says, “The Explorer program is
about taking Glass out in the world and seeing what’s possible with the
technology. We hope our Explorers are excited to do just that. While it’s
against our terms of service to sell your device, we don’t plan on disabling
any Explorer’s device.”
This
new attempt of Google will surely turn out to be a boon. For more information
