With the newest update of XE11 for Glass the improvements were very slight and with a lot of explorers, I haven't really dug
into the new glass store since the initial release of some addition apps. The apps store houses apps that assist you in cooking, update you in sports scores and even tell you interesting things and places around you. However the most interesting thing your going to find are some really simple apps such as stopwatch, timer and compass.
Why??? Those are very basic and how is this going to help me more than the others?
Very simple answer, be optimistic and excited not because of what it is, but where it is leading you towards. These simple apps are making Glass a utility, and not a phone replacement. The fact that timer, stopwatch and compass can be summoned on demand but also the fact that Glass is slowly shaping into a utility device like Batman's utility belt for geeks and something we can actually use in a daily basis. The fact that you don't have to stop what you are doing and redirect your attention to start the application keeps you on your train of thought and focused. Giving you an instant reminder of time and pace is important in meeting deadlines. And not to mention how this can integrate into glass apps. and for professionals using Glass, time management is key.
Google also have you the ability to see your calendar and your upcoming events with a Google search command. Keeping your agenda in you eyes helps with planning and keeping dates assuming you are half organized and actually have a schedule. Those who are busy enough, this is a great improvement. Glass is becoming what Apple promised us what Siri would be. Now one of the biggest challenges next is how the nexus watch is going to play into this. The smart watch need not to replace the phone but work together with Glass and Android and it is important that the watch finds it's place and compliment the others. We will call it the Google Geek hat trick!
