14. From search to relevant agent
Google Now

15. A new kind of products
Or product-service-ecosystems

17. Wearable devices are boiling down the implused
shaped services

18. Design for Glass
Learnings

21. Static cards
Input
Live cards
Immersion
Menus

22. Technical learnings
▪ Cloud apps/Static cards
▪ work via REST API (Mirror API) interface (all languages possible)
▪ have no access to sensors except location
▪ Subscription model also in engineering: example menus
!
▪ Native apps
▪ are in essence Android apps (APKs, Java)
▪ SDK (GDK) released in November

23. The principle

25. Design for Glass
Don’t get in the way
Keep it relevant
Avoid the unexpected
Build for people

27. 3 clients, 3 design cases
Enhance an existing service with contextual smartness
!
!
Connect the data from the cloud to the moment to
create a new value from their knowledge.
!
!
With EYE we enhance the physical space.

28. Greenwheels service: sesame open
Open and close with Glass

29. Step 1: connect accounts

30. Step 2: make a reservation

31. Step 3 & 4: get a reminder and navigate to car
15 min before reservation

32. step 5: standing next to the car: open via voice

35. Connected the mirror API to
Greenwheels back-end
Keep the flow simple and focused
Think timely and context-full

36. bol.com and the power of the data
enhance the real world

41. EYE; a new way of storytelling
open up the museum

48. Principle: find the stories in the space

50. Glass inspires new ways of interacting,
using head gestures and in real presence
Storytelling is a powerful guideline

51. Overall learnings
▪ There are no apps, you create relations with apps. See it as subcriptions
▪ You always start with the journey of the Glass-user to look for moments of
nearby interactions with the service
▪ Limit the interactions, make no long trees
▪ More than ever: don’t make me think!
▪ Use existing knowledge from data and profiles
▪ Context rules: obey the moment
▪ Make it fun to use by creating magic

52. So: Meaning of Glass
Signpost for context driven wearable tech

53. Glass forces to think in context and timely and
usage-driven interactions.

54. Google has the power to shape this relevancy
driven world, as they did with search.

55. Other wearables will walk the same road. So use
these findings to model your product/service &
marketing.
