Google: here's how to use Ubuntu on Google Glass - HWJournal

Into During the developer conference on Thursday, Google has shown how we can do a lot with your Google Glass. In addition to using Android, for example, Big G also showed how you can run Ubuntu Linux on them.

The hack has been shown to all, also explaining that this is irreversible and will void the warranty on Glass, although it seems that Google wants to make the factory image of Glass available to everyone, so who making the flash can then try to go back to the original configuration.

At the moment we do not know yet when it will be available the first samples of the Google Glass for developers, but according to Charles Mendis Google, the availability date is still far away. For now, Isabelle Olsson, head designer for Glass, showed an early prototype quite cumbersome combined with eyeglasses.

Olsson joked on the prototype shown It’s claimed that it was nothing more than a phone attached to a mask for scuba divers. Do you think the development of Glass was “so ambitious and very messy.” Making a product that is light is a key element, since if it is not light, no one will want to wear it for more than 10 minutes. For this Olsson said that “We are attentive to every gram.”

When she was asked what types of applications, the team would like to see Glass , Olson said they want an application for Karaoke, while Mendis said he would like to see an application for Fitn ess. Steve Lee, product director of Google Glass, said that Google Goggles are designed for micro interactions, rather than to watch a movie or read a book. Lee said “we do not want to create the zombies who stare at a screen for too long.” Meanwhile, showing a different level of interest in the Glass respect to developers and fan technology, several members of Congress have sent a letter to Larry Page, Google CEO, asking for an explanation about any privacy issues that may be implicated by Google Glass.
