#Google Glass & Android Wear Lightening Talks
##Introduction to Android Wear ###Dario Laverde - HTC Dev Relations - Android Wear
Watch is only the first of the many "formfactors" in theory
You need to get approved to get android wear
####Required components
Jar file and playstore app accessible only if you signed up
####NOTE: Android wear apps must not be published yet. only for testing purposes only. not for production apps
Wear is designed to only take notifications from the phone. not sensors on the ☎️
###Stream Cards
updates and suggestions
Smart: aware of situation and state and display information at the right time.
Glanceable: shouldn't have to click or dig dowof
Zero to low interaction
Helpful : personal assistant
####Helpful sample projects
Eliza, Recipes and notifications
###Images
Big picture images and icon on the header. the icon and image are not required but give context
###Actions
up to three actions are permitted
the most used one should be the first one
communication goes back to the phone
the reply action has voice action support
###Notifications
Are similar to previous notifications
NotificationCompat -- compatible with older versions of android and android wear
###Pages
additional cards
####examples a weather card with a an additional 3day forecformfactors future train schedules fitness data over pages
pages are optional and they should be avoided
same for Stackable notification experience
stacks are defined by just setting a group type of notifications
###To get started

add an action
adding a large view (setLargeIcon)

###CUE cards
Actions that need to be performed no api support and will be activated by voice
####Hacked on to cheapo device
Bought a cheap "android 4.0 smartwatch" for 100 dollars
installed the launcher and then added wear no remote notifications and doesn't really work but good for testing. more intuitive to test the ui
##Glass & iBeacons ###Michael Moussa
###iBeacons/BLE/Bluetooth Smart
iBeacons are just ble 4.0 peripheals
they advertise services - i'm a heart rate monitor - just to be found.
Android can only find beacons can't be found while ios can
Glass is now BLE supported
onStartCommand just listens for the text you define.
