The Glass screen sits out of view, and it’s usually off, just like your cellphone screen. Its frame is essentially a trackpad with three main gestures. Tap once with a finger to select. Slide your finger along the temples to scroll. Swipe down to dismiss a screen.
To start things off, tap the frame with a finger (or nod your head), and you end up at Glass’s home screen. From the home screen, you can do a few things:
- Swipe your finger down on the frame to dismiss the screen and go about your day--it’s basically the same thing as the Android’s back button.
- Tap again and say “OK Glass” to issue a command, like “take a picture” or “Google how to use Glass”
- Slide your finger back along the frame to view a few Google Now-esque “cards”--like the weather report.
- Slide your finger forward along the frame--and this is the heart of the experience--which takes you through a “timeline” of everything. From the photo you just took, to a search you just made, to a video you were sent to a notification you received earlier from the NYT. This is how Glass is much like Twitter, or may be, assuming you subscribe to several services for updates.
