MyGlass App Live in Google Play

google-glass

Google Glass is almost here. To help fill out the experience Google has pushed the MyGlass companion app to the Play store. It requires an Android device running version 4.0.3 or higher.

The MyGlass app is designed to serve as a tool for getting one’s Glass device up and running. It provides information about your specific device along with some configuration settings.

There is a disclaimer on the app’s Google Play page about the utility of the application for those who do not have Google Glass:

If you don’t have Glass, then downloading this will be a waste of time. Sorry about that. But if you swipe the screenshots to the right you’ll see there’s a picture of a puppy in pajamas. So not a total waste of time after all.

Google has announced that its Glass devices should be shipping soon to those who were selected through its Glass Explorer program. It has also released API details and information about initial apps.
