What you'll learn

In this course, you will learn to create apps that run directly on Google Glass by creating a full-featured Scavenger Hunt game using the Glass Development Kit. The course takes you through the complete process of building a Scavenger Hunt game that runs entirely on Google Glass. In the process of creating this game, you will learn how to develop apps for Google Glass that interact with the Glass Timeline and incorporate the distinct behaviors of a wearable computer like Google Glass, including using voice commands to launch your app, capturing photos, and incorporating touch-based-gestures for navigation. In this game, the player uses the built-in camera to capture photos corresponding to a randomly generated list of Scavenger Hunt categories. As each photo is captured, the player uses touch-based-gesture navigation to associate the photo with the appropriate category. The game uses a Google Glass LiveCard to display the player's ongoing game status on the Glass Timeline with game play continuing until the player has captured a photo for every category.
