Designing and Developing for Google Glass

Chapter 14. Getting on MyGlass: Glassware Submission, Review, and Distribution

Welcome to the end of the line! (Well, almost.) Now that you know everything about the Glass ecosystem and Google’s vision for wearable computing, it’s time to get you ready to play the main room. You’ve committed to memory the proper steps needed to design highly effective wearable applications and have thoroughly mastered the techniques to build rich functionality for the Glass experience, tying it all together with the Think for Glass philosophy. You’ve reached a critical point following design and development: getting your Glassware submitted for review. This is the all-important final step so your project can be listed in the MyGlass directory so that users can easily discover it and start using your Glassware.
