We will make Hello World Glassware to demonstrate how to make and deploy your first Glassware to the Google Glass.
Before you start you need to make sure your computer recognizes your Google Glass by following the steps of this article.
This Glassware is an example of an immersion. An immersion gives the developer the possibility to render the view. It replaces the timeline by an application.

How to control the Google Glass

The Google Glass can be controlled on two ways, it has a touchpad and voice recognition.
The touchpad can be tapped to open a menu or selecting an item, it will also turn the display on if it’s not on yet.
By swiping from the back to the front (or front to back) you can scroll through the menu and timeline.
If you swipe down you will go back, for example when you are in the settings and you want to go back to the timeline. It will also turn the display off when you are at the Home card.
The voice recognition can be used by saying “ok glass” at the Home card, by saying this you will see all possible command. (For example “google” to open google search.)
