Google Glass 'wink' update blurs the line between tic and functionality Dec 18th 2013, 15:51, by Evan Dashevsky Google Glass' latest software update demonstrates how Mountain View is still experimenting with the facecentric UI. Included in the latest update (XE12 for those keeping track) will be a new "wink" function that allows users to capture a photograph with a simple wink of their right eye. Users can turn it on or off by swiping over to Settings. It will even work when the display is off. Aside form the "exploratory" eyelid-centric UI, users will still be able to capture images with the headset's physical camera button or by "ok glass"-ing. In order to take advantage of the new Palinesque function users will need to have a Glass device purchased after October 28, or have taken part in the complimentary swap for the latest dorkified hardware.
