Course Description

This course is focused on teaching individuals how to develop apps for Google Glass using C#, Xamarin, and the Xamarin Glass Development Kit. The main project of the course involves creating a Scavenger Hunt app that utilizes the unique features of Google Glass. By using voice commands and touch-based gestures, users can launch the app, take photos, and navigate through the different aspects of the game. The player's objective is to capture photos corresponding to randomly generated Scavenger Hunt categories. These photos are then associated with the correct category using touch-based gesture navigation. Throughout gameplay, the player's progress is displayed on the Glass Timeline through a Google Glass LiveCard. The game continues until the player captures a photo for each category. By the end of this course, participants will have gained the knowledge and skills needed to develop apps for Google Glass that leverage the capabilities of wearable computing devices.

Skills You Will Gain

What You Will Learn

As each photo is captured, the player uses touch-based-gesture navigation to associate the photo with the appropriate category

In the process of creating this game, you will learn how to use C# and Xamarin to develop apps for Google Glass that interact with the Glass Timeline and incorporate the distinct behaviors of a wearable computing device like Google Glass

In this game, the player is able to walk around wearing Google Glass and use the built-in camera to capture photos corresponding to a randomly generated list of Scavenger Hunt categories

The game uses a Google Glass LiveCard to display the player's ongoing game status on the Glass Timeline with gameplay continuing until the player has captured a photo for every category

This course takes you through the complete process of building a Scavenger Hunt game that runs entirely on Google Glass

This includes using voice commands to launch your app, capturing photos, and incorporating touch-based-gestures to navigate the app

You will learn to create apps that run directly on Google Glass by creating a full-featured Scavenger Hunt game using C#, Xamarin, and the Xamarin Glass Development Kit component
