If hacked, Google Glass can run Android apps

Google Glass can run Android apps
None of the devices are immune from 'nosy hands' hackers. This also applies to Google Glass.

As reported by PCMag (16/5), current users of Google Glass was able to hack their own devices to customized their own. As a result, Google Glass can run many Android applications and even from Ubuntu.


This in itself presented by Google in the mat Google I / O 2013 that continues to this day. Through a panel titled voiding Your Warranty: Hacking Glass, two Google software engineer, Hyunyoung Song and PY Laligand reveal how.

Firstly, they show a debug mode, which allows users to run an Android app. The trick is to connect the two input sources such as a wireless keyboard as a source of navigation.

As a result, the running application will look at the screen while the glasses have been executed entirely by keyboard control earlier. Unfortunately, voice control is still not possible to run this application.

In the second hacking, Hyunyoung Song and P.Y. Glass Laligand put in root mode. That way, the warranty is gone and Google Glass can run Ubuntu on it.

Although it can be compromised as they pleased, Google itself prevents the user to do so. If recalcitrant, then the warranty of the device will be lost.
