Google Glass will be getting Android 4.4 KitKat update later this week, the company has announced on Google+. Users should expect a number of goodies, including:
- KitKat enhancements – It’s not a visible change, but it brings improved battery life and makes Glass more reliable and easier to update in the future, while allowing developers to write Glassware using the latest Android SDK.
- Photo bundles – now when you scroll through your timeline – your photos, videos and vignettes from each day will be organized in bundles so that you can “swipe less and see more.”
- Photo replies in Hangouts – The next time someone asks “what’s up,” tap “Reply” and then take a photo to show them, or send them one of the photos you’ve taken before.
- Voice command sorting – When you tap or say “ok glass,” voice commands are now sorted by recency and frequency, making it easier to see the commands you use most often and faster to access them from the touch menu.
- Video calls are now removed from Glass until the experience is better.
If you’re one of the lucky Glass owners, make sure to update them the second you’re prompted to do so. 😉
