CourtJesterG / gdk-compass-sample

Simple GDK example acting as a compass. In addition to the visual display, you can tap the touchpad to have Glass speak your current orientation aloud.

Compass

This sample inserts a live card to the left of the Glass clock that displays a compass. Tapping the live card presents a menu with two options:

• Read aloud: read the compass's current heading using text-to-speech
• Stop: remove the compass from the timeline

The compass also contains a small list of landmarks that will appear on the screen when the user is within 10 km of those locations. See the res/raw/landmarks.json file to add your own.

Running the sample on Glass

You can use your IDE to compile and install the sample or use adb on the command line:

$ adb install -r CompassSample.apk

To start the sample, say "ok glass, show a compass" from the Glass clock screen or use the touch menu.
