Integrating Google Glass with CQC

[Gatoreye]

Once I saw the Mirror API in more detail and see the limitations in regards to video (which is where my focus was going to be) I was a little disappointed. Same feelings with the apparent lack of the ability to create custom voice commands to trigger custom events (unless I'm mistaken).  It looks like it is almost entirely focused around having data pushed to it (I could display status events on it), but using it to request data from the system or issue commands to control things around the house directly seems more difficult if not impossible from what I've seen so far.
 
Still waiting to see how some of the early developers who are getting them are working around the limitations.

Oh. Dude that blows. That is near deal-killer for me, what about you?

Since the I/O Explorers are getting theirs first, I'm waiting to see the feedback from them and to find out exactly what is and isn't possible. It doesn't seem we are getting them soon so at this point, I'm just sitting tight and trying to read everything I can. I still want to know for sure what's possible before I make any final decisions.

Can anyone update regarding the Video capabilities and voice commands ?
PS. I haven't found the blog IVB posted (did it was removed?)

Sorry for the mid-line ,more challenge: ))

FYI I opted to decline the offer. In addition to the posts about eyestrain concern, there's increasing evidence that its NOT HA friendly. I don't need to spend $1500 on a fancy GoPro. I'll wait until consumer-level pricing happens in a year or so...

I guess you guys didn't see this then http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/14/revolv-google-glass-connected-home/
It can clearly be integrated quite well, as it can do both "tap" commands based on presence and voice commands.
Pretty cool demo at that.

I think integrating voice control via your smart phone as IVB has already done makes a lot more sense than using google glass.  Let's face it, Google Glass is not going to become main stream for quite a long time (if ever) because of the creepiness factor.

We recently added the HTTP generic trigger driver to make the voice stuff a lot more straightforward, since I take it that Tasker (which everyone seems to be using) can be set up to send HTTP GET operations. So this now lets you talk straight to the trigger driver from the phone, and that means you can do the training of CQC responses and such using the standard IR/RF type interface.
