Google is really showing us what technology is all about. I bet it never occurred to you that blinking could capture a picture of what you’re looking at?
The code, discovered by Reddit user Fodawim, suggests users will be able to use their eyes, fingers, and head to accomplish various tasks. For example, a “head wake” function, listed in the code as a head gesture, could turn Glass on or off. An eye gesture called “wink” could be used to take a photo or calibrate the device. And there’s a “guest mode,” suggesting you could share your glasses without also sharing the pics you’ve snapped using wink.
Google unveiled Project Glass in April, 2012. It has since been spotted on random Googlers (including Google cofounder Sergey Brin) in the wild and has been offered to select members of the public through its #IfIHadGlass campaign. Google Glass should be widely available in 2014, a time frame reaffirmed by Google’s Eric Schmidt in a BBC 4 radio interview today.
