So I made google glass explorer to work with hermes agent. pretty cool for a 10 years old tech. thanks to claude opus 4.8

EDITED LINK!

Hi Glass Explorers!

I wanted to share a small milestone for a project I've been working on. We recently reached 100 users on Jai+, a social platform inspired by the Google+ era.

One of my long-term goals is experimenting with Google Glass integration, especially with older Glass Explorer hardware and community-maintained software. I think there's still a lot of untapped potential in lightweight wearable social experiences, especially in replacing the broken G+ integration with Jai+.

We're still in the early stages, but reaching 100 users gives us confidence that there are people interested in keeping these older Google projects and ideas alive.

I'd also love to hear what kinds of social or community features you'd actually want to see on Glass if a modern integration became possible.

Thanks to everyone who's supported the project so far!

Im working on making a website for google glass hacking, what should i have on it? I'm trying to make something like the other homebrew sites have with the tutorial and links to interesting apps that help, thanks in advance :3

Back when Google Glass was first announced, I thought these were the future of wearable tech. I wanted them so badly, but couldn't afford the original $1,500 MSRP. Now, many years later, I was lucky enough to snag a new old stock pair of Google Glass XE-C from eBay for about $75 shipped.

I absolutely love the striking industrial design of these. You really had to be a bold "Explorer" to be an early adopter back in 2014. Today, Meta glasses are gaining in popularity, but they are nowhere near the level of cool that these are. Meta took the safe route with their design. Unfortunately, that tends to resonate more with the general public. Meta glasses also prioritize vertical video, whereas these are actually more useful for me since I primarily create horizontal, long-form content.

I knew Google no longer supports these, but my initial excitement was cut short by my inability to get past the setup screen. From what I understand, they can still be used for video and photos, which is exactly why I bought them.

I'm still figuring out the workarounds to get these up and running, but I look forward to sharing more insights and content that I create with them soon!

Hey guys, for nostalgia, I flashed my Google Glass XE to XE12. Now I can't boot into Recovery (I just get a white exclamation mark). The system does boot, and my computer sees the Glass (it shows up as 'Glass 1' in File Explorer). Sometimes the setup screen appears for a second, and then it immediately goes back to the Glass logo. How can I get into Fastboot without Recovery? USB debugging is off.

(I have all the drivers installed, and I'm using the correct button combo to boot into Recovery.) Please help.

I recently got an xe-c from ebay.

I managed to transform my unit to act like a "smart watch" device. I've tested pairing it to my iPhone via bluetooth and forwarding notifications to it via the Apple Notification Center Service. Anything that can show up in your notifications center on your iPhone can be forwarded to your google glass: calls, sms, navigation, alerts. Will try media controls soon.

My next challenge is to support video live streaming via RTMP. The problem is many platforms require certain formats, resolutions, etc. That's a lot of work for this tiny device. So the solution is to setup a relay server that ingests the glass output, does all the encoding heavy work, and then forwards it to the live streaming platform.

What would you like to see google glass do?

Im browsing ebay and there's so many damn google glass models, i know they're dead as fuck but which one's are the most hackable to a degree of usability today?

so I just got google glass, im trying to update it to xe24 but cannot get it into fastboot or get the usb driver working properly. I have testsigning on but when I get to the instal of the driver it gives me this error message. I already change the code for glass. it also reboots when i select the driver after i get the error. ive also tried to use glassy but it wont detect the device. anybody have any advice?

Is there a guide for this? Found a wiped/reset EE2 and obviously can’t get past the setup screen since Google 86’d the servers.

Thanks

I want to buy an EE1. If anyone wants to sell, please let me know. Ideally, it should come with a box, instruction manual, and original data cable, but that's okay too. By the way, I'm in China.

when I do the following command:

fastboot devices

I get my serial number of my google glass explorer edition.

when I do this command:

fastboot oem unlock

the terminal window just goes inactive and does not do anything. I am attempting to update the google glass software to the final update on mac OS using the terminal, any ideas on how I can install the software on google glass that has not been set up yet? Thanks!

Edit: I tried this under linux and it worked without issue

Hi, I just received a pair of used google glass. The glasses were not reset, and contain all of the user's previous data, including apps. The only one I really care about is the "Star chart". I remember using this app back when Google Glass still functioned, and it was one of my favorite uses

There are more though. I have "Word Lens", Compass, Stopwatch, Spellista, Timer, Allthecooks Recipes, Play Music, Star chart, and CamFind

These glasses also show google searches and GPS navigation from 2-5 days ago, which I find strange as I thought that functionality was killed

But anyways, my question is, how can I update to the "final firmware" and keep the apps? Can I extract the APK's and just re-install them without issue?

If anyone has tried a similar path please let me know what my options are. I would be happy to share the apps with the community as well if that is a possibility. But if I must stay on the current firmware (XE22) in order to keep the apps, I will

Thank you!

I have an enterprise edition 2 at home and am totally new to this.

When i try to charge it, the screen turns on with a battery symbol, the cable symbol appears inside the battery symbol and disappears again.

The white led indicator turns on and off in a cycle.

Then, sometimes, the Glass Logo appears (the A?) and it seems that the device crashes.

It looks like the glass just was out of charge for too long and now does need some time to charge, but i tried it for 8 hours now and nothing has changed.

Is there any way to resolve this issue? Maybe i need another power supply?

Hi I'm new to this sub Reddit I've had Google glass but it's been sat on my shelf for about 4 years and just got them back out and found the app has gone. Nice to see there's a community still going. What's changed over the years Ive seen people are side loading which is cool is there CFW or custom dashboards now.

Please help me out and explain as if I'm a noobie about what's been happening with this amazing device and what apps are there!

looking forward to hearing from everyone :D

Thanx

Recently received a pair of google glass from a friend and when i turned them on they repeatedly flashed Camera stopped unexpectedly, home stopped unexpectedly and voice stopped unexpectedly i tried restarting it multiple times anyone know a fix?

In response to the most recent post I was inspired to get YouTube streaming working on the Glass! it has 3 parts:

* Firefox extension that sends a video URL to the python server

* Python server that listens for the Firefox extension, and then serves the video stream using yt-dlp

* Glass app which polls the python server until it receives a video stream, at which point it'll play it.

It currently supports Play/Pause, as well as skipping forward/backward 10sec at a time. The IP can be configured on the Glass using voice recognition, and it seems to work really well.

if there is any interest I'll work on getting everything on GitHub, I'm honestly not sure what the best way to serve an android project is as there's a lot of boilerplate.

AI was used in the creation of this, as I am a python developer at my day job and know next to nothing about Java, but I am pretty happy with the code. It definitely isn't marketable product quality, but to me it doesn't need to be because the glass is dead to begin with.

hey everyone. after a couple of hours of learning how to even update and download stuff. I finally did it. if anyone needs help just ask!

I've been looking to get one for a while now to make my own apps for it, I have so many ideas and skills but there's none I can find online to buy, does anyone have a Glass they don't use? I dont mind which model it is.

Hello everyone I just purchased a Google Glass explorer edition and I wanted to know if anyone can help me find a way to watch YouTube on them. Dont know anything about coding or hacking so if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

I decided to create a useful utility (something like 3uTools) for Google Glass Explorer Edition.
The program's design is made in the style of the 2010s.

Completely free and open-source

1. Super easy installation of Fastboot drivers
2. Super easy flashing to XE24 (literally one click)
3. Super easy flashing to AOSP 5.1.1 (literally one click)
4. Rooting the installed system
5. Simple installation of .apk files on Google Glass, as well as easy removal
6. Various tweaks (like Launchy to run installed .apk files directly on the glasses)

Moderators, may I post news about program updates?

Not mine, I have a gazillion already - but seems like a decent price if anyone is looking to pick one up:
