Google appears to be preparing many more features for Google Glass ahead of an eventual public launch.
An examination of the latest Google Glass firmware by Android Police hints at what features may come to Google's high-tech specs. Most notably, users could have a much longer list of voice commands to work with.
Here's the full list of new commands that Android Police spotted in the firmware:
- Add a Calendar Event
- Call Me a Car
- Capture a Panorama
- Check Me In
- Create a 3D Model
- Find a Recipe
- Learn a Song
- Play a Game
- Play Music
- Record a Recipe
- Remind Me To...
- Show a Compass
- Start a Bike Ride
- Start a Round of Golf
- Start a Run
- Start a Stopwatch
- Start a Timer
- Translate This
- Tune an Instrument
Apps may provide some features
Keep in mind that not all Glass functions are built in by default. Some of them are enabled by third-party apps. (For instance, Glass users can currently say "Take a Note" to record their thoughts in Evernote.) Commands such as "Tune and Instrument" or "Start a Bike Ride" could very well be tied to a third-party app. Right now, the app selection on Glass is tightly restricted, but that could change with a proper app store coming next year when the device is supposedly coming available to the general public.
