Google releases five mini-games for Glass eyewear to inspire
Saturday, 1 February 2014 by Unknown
In a bid to shape the future of gaming, Google Glass developers
have launched the first series of games for the wearable device
that's set to hit the markets later this year.
The California-based Google has released five mini-games in a bid
to inspire game developers to begin efforts to create more games
for its Glass wearable computing device.
These games include a Fruit Ninja clone, Balance, Clay Shooter,
Tennis and Matcher.
They have been created in such a way that the device's
accelerometer, gyroscope and voice activation features can be
used, said Google Glass developer's blog post.
While Tennis let wearers' use their head as a racket, Balance uses
your head to shift around and stop a pile of shapes from toppling
over.
Clay Shooter lets you say 'Pull' and you move your head to the clay
pigeon in the air to shoot it.
Matcher is a card-matching game while Shape Splitter lets you use
your hands to slice shapes in mid-air.
"Each game is visually simple and straightforward to play," said
Google.
The new mini-games for the Glass are not the first games that have
been built especially for the device.
Some earlier games include BrickSimple's multiplayer Battleship-
like game dubbed 'GlassBattle' and AMA's puzzle game called
'Escape'.
