2. What is augmented Reality
• Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a
physical, real-world environment whose elements
are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated
sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
• It is related to a more general concept called mediated
reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even
diminished rather than augmented) by a computer.
• Augmented reality is changing the way we view the world --
or at least the way its users see the world.
4. Google Glass
• Google Glass is a third eye off to the side, but what's coming is
a generation of glasses whose information becomes
immersed in your reality.
• The project is basically based on a pair of augmented reality
glasses that seek to provide users real-time information right
in front of their eyes
• With Glass, Google puts the Internet even closer than your
fingertips-right at eye level and integrates information into
the wearer's visual experience.

7. How users interact ?
• Information on Google Glass is separated into items on a
timeline. The timeline contains items or "cards" that
display information to the user. Users navigate through
their timeline by swiping backwards and forwards on
Glass, revealing cards in the past and future.
• Each timeline card contains information pushed to Glass
devices from various pieces of Glassware.
• Many timeline cards have additional interactions
associated with them that are accessible with a single
tap. You can define these menu items to allow users to
execute actions such as deleting or sharing a card.

12. How developers interact?
• To interact with a user's timeline, you call the appropriate
RESTful endpoint to carry out the action that you want to do.
Google handles all of the necessary details of syncing
between your Glassware and your users' Glass. Some
common actions include:
– Creating and managing timeline cards on a user's Glass
– Subscribing to notifications from Glass to be notified of
user actions
– Obtaining a user's location
